For my part, I plan to work out a fair and adequate redistribution of city services to all city neighborhoods.

I am here before you tonight to dedicate this administration to bringing a new renaissance of neighborhood life and community spirit, a renewal of confidence in the future of our city and a revival of opportunity for all Chicago.

The Chicago Symphony is considered the greatest orchestra in the world.

Chicago kept industry, attracted new business, became the center for convention trade and transportation.

Be assured that I did not become the Mayor of Chicago to preside over its decline.

In the housing projects, people talked of ways to reduce crime, relieve overcrowding, and they were good ideas that we plan to study, and possibly implement.

I am a Democrat. I have been one all of my life.
