From the Editorial Board: Paul Vallas is the candidate best positioned to tackle the city’s existential problem of violent crime. As he said on the campaign trail, the right to live without fear of attack should be viewed as an inalienable human right.
Mayoral candidate Paul Vallas thanks voters outside the Thompson Center on March. 1, 2023.
In the last few weeks, some have suggested that white people don’t really experience violent crime, or that the attention being paid to the issue is a consequence of the spillover of such crimes as carjacking into traditionally more affluent neighborhoods. First and foremost, we expect Vallas to not necessarily expand the Chicago Police Department, but to improve it across the board — in its clearance rates, responsiveness to the community, accountability, compassion, humanity and in its adherence to the consent decree.
They deserve the finest education this city can provide. And it must do so as equitably as possible, applying rigorous standards across the board. No election in our lifetimes will end these debates, which have become only more bitter as time has passed and hearts have hardened.But that doesn’t change the moral imperative. Educators know this and that’s what drives them to go to work every day. They must be heard and celebrated.
Attracting young, educated Americans, especially Black Americans, will be crucial to its future. Chicago must compete, and that cannot become a dirty word. It must function and it must still dream.
