The Privatizers Are Coming For Your Tap Water – And Any Other Public Service They Can Acquire And Sell Back To You

By Tom Tresser via YouTube

“Tom Tresser spoke at The Chicago Temple on August 3, 2011 on the looming threats of privatization in Illinois. The remarks were made at a forum of anti-privatization activists organized by Citizens Act To Protect Our Water (CAPOW!). Tom is organizing a new effort to stop privatization and to defend and extend the commons – Protect Our Public Assets.”

Also: “Public Radio Chicago is hosting a forum with Mayor Emanuel at the Chicago History Museum on August 24. They are entertaining questions from the public. I’d like to know if we can expect more bad deals like the recent O’Hare International Terminal concession contract.”

Editor’s Note: Here’s WBEZ’s live-blog from that event, in which only the most basic, first-level questions that Rahm has been asked a million times were posed. Nice campaign commercial, WBEZ.
