Best of Chicago voting is live now. Vote for your favorites »

Mayor Daley has “apologized” for the “implementation” of our parking meter debacle [“Fail,” parts one, two, and three, by Ben Joravsky and Mick Dumke), but he still won’t own up to the financial failure it is for the city and how it has adversely affected the lives of the vast majority of Chicagoans. Daley should resign, but he is too arrogant to do so, so voters must oust him at the next election.

Voters held Michael Bilandic accountable for snow removal, and they should similarly hold Daley accountable for this mess. It’s time for Chicago voters to tell Daley: “You’re fired!” —Walter Zarnecki, 35th Ward Republican Committeeman, Logan Square

So I ask, if Hoffman makes it to Washington, what muscle stays behind to effectively police local corruption in Illinois and Chicago?

Anyway, it will be entertaining seeing him go down in flames. —Ballot Challenge
