HOMICIDES UP 38%: Chicago
Mayor Rahm Emanuel listed safer streets as one of his three top
priorities when he became mayor, but the rate of homicides has
risen 38 percent from last year. As of June 17, 240 people have
been killed in the city. That’s 66 more deaths than occurred during
the same period in 2011. The trend is particularly disturbing given
that homicide rates are down this year in other cities like New
York and Los Angeles. Critics blame Emanuel’s budget choices, which
included reducing police spending by $67 million. A Fraternal Order
of Police spokesman said: “Every district in the city is running
short on manpower. It’s pennywise and
dollar-foolish.”
