i first heard about this ’street money’ thing a few weeks back. basically, its a throwback to olde tyme politics where ward leaders are given some money to get the vote out, but like most money influenced things it went more to ‘other things’. sticking to his words obama isnt buying into this and its throwing the system off in the neighborhoods. sad thing is, this whole ’street money’ thing isnt getting much coverage locally. heres a guardian uk article outlining the whole deal. somethings are starting to make sense now when looking back at the past few times i voted. i wonder if i will hear from a certain neighbor regarding hillz.
