I am here before you tonight to dedicate this administration to bringing a new renaissance of neighborhood life and community spirit, a renewal of confidence in the future of our city and a revival of opportunity for all Chicago.

The people must know that from this day on, we want their opinions.

But as important as the job to be done by government in the neighborhoods, the people must also be involved.
Jane Byrne

We must care. We must all care. And while I am working, while the governments is working, so must the people also work.
Jane Byrne

The cooperation of government at its different levels is important and can only be achieved as long as the people of Chicago are directly involved in our efforts and supportive of our goals.

In the days and months I spent walking through the various communities of this city, I found that Chicago did not work for everyone, however.

I am a Democrat. I have been one all of my life.
