Daley scorns cabbie dress code idea

Chicago’s Democratic Mayor Daley has reached a point where he has decided that enough is enough – when it comes to the far-reaching hand of a would-be nanny approach to public policy.

A dress code for cabdrivers. A ban on the sale of foie gras in Chicago restaurants. To Mayor Daley, it’s all part of the same slippery slope: a Big Brother intrusion into the lives of Chicagoans that he wants no part of. “We’re trying to tell people they can’t eat certain foods. They can’t buy certain foods. They can’t ship certain foods in. Pretty soon, you can’t drink. Do you really want government to keep telling you every day what to do?” Daley said.

The Chief finds it encouraging that even a died-in-the-wool Democrat like the mayor still has enough reason to say STOP! Maybe there’s some hope for the Donks yet.
