In the days and months I spent walking through the various communities of this city, I found that Chicago did not work for everyone, however.

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.

Our universities and museums are respected around the country.

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.

I pledge tonight to be Mayor for all of the people of this city - for one Chicago.

But as important as the job to be done by government in the neighborhoods, the people must also be involved.

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