Not in my front yard

摘要

Richard daley is used to getting what he wants. Elected Chicago's mayor in 1989, he is often called "the emperor". Now he is facing a rare opponent: a 35-year-old, first-term alderman. Last month Brendan Reilly said he would fight plans to move the Chicago Children's Museum to a treasured spot in his ward, Grant Park, the city's so-called front yard. Mr Daley erupted, hinting that the museum's critics simply want to keep black and Hispanic children out of the park. He declared it "a fight for the future of this city".
