"Why are we having a fire sale on everything in the city?" Waguespack said.

Has Daley gone freaking nuts? Is he trying to sell everything in Chicago on his way out the door? Call your Alderman now, we must nip this in the bud! So far it is just talk but you know Daley, when he gets something crazy in his head he just goes and does it, so we have to start acting now by calling the Alderman and City Hall!
Privatization of the water has not worked anywhere in the country where I have read that it has occurred, Stockton, CA fought hard and long to get their water back in their hands after it was privatized, please don't let that happen here!

Sorry this email is a mess, I cleaned it up as much as I could, if you do not live in Chicago please send this to your contacts who do live in Chicago. Thanks in advance for your activism.

 FW: URGENT: Daley considering leasing our WATER!!!!

> > Subject: URGENT: DALEY CONSIDERING LEASING WATER SYSTEM! THIS IS NOT A JOKE!

> > PLEASE HELP ME GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT THIS.

> > Remember the Parking Meter fiasco?  CBS 2 Chicago aired a story Friday night, stating that Chicago is considering leasing its water and sewer system.

> > This is more than just a cost concern. This is about survival. Water should never become a for-profit enterprise! Isn’t delivery of clean water a  basic responsibility of a city government?

> > Please contact your alderman and the mayor , immediately about this issue! The parking meter deal was public for only a few days, before city council voted on it. (List of Alderman contacts at bottom of page.)

> > These are quotes from the CBS website:
> > "Could it happen here in Chicago? It already has nearby. Homer Glen in Will
 County relies on Lake Michigan water, but the supply comes from a German-owned firm. Locals say there's a lot more than water going down the drain. Mayor Jim Daley says residents pay about three times more than those in
neighboring communities.

> > A trade publication says the city's Department of Water Management is  "considering a lease of its water and wastewater system."

> > Alderman Scott Waguespack has heard similar rumblings.

> > "We've already heard inklings that they're thinking about it," he said. "They've had discussions. Why is the public not at the table?"

> > Jon Keesecker, with Food and Water Watch, says there's simply no public
accountability.

> > "The financial situation is dire, but handing off an asset that is essential to life and that absolutely all residents in the city need is probably not the best  solution," he said"

> > Here is a link to the story:
