If for no other reason than the energy crisis now facing this country, the federal government should be eager to become partners with us in rebuilding our city.
But always I was a private citizen whose activities in government or political party were appointive.
But as important as the job to be done by government in the neighborhoods, the people must also be involved.
The people ask much, often more than any government can give. We must resist the temptation to promise solutions to all problems.
The cooperation of government at its different levels is important and can only be achieved as long as the people of Chicago are directly involved in our efforts and supportive of our goals.
We must care. We must all care. And while I am working, while the governments is working, so must the people also work.
