- Mayor Rahm Emanuel today announced a plan to improve access to the Chicago River by building four boathouses on stretches of the waterway that already draw scores of kayakers and other paddlers.
The city will spend equal shares of public funds and private donations to build the structures, estimated to cost $4 million each.
It sure seems that as fast as Rahm is making cuts in one area, he's spending the "savings" even quicker instead of paying off debt and long term liabilities.
