Lightfoot’s ‘authenticity’ to be center of plan to re-brand Chicago

“If you look at the mayor and what she represents — her history, her background, her personality — people are very intrigued by that. They might not agree with everything. But, they’re intrigued and believe she’s authentic,” Michael Fassnacht, the city’s chief marketing officer, said Thursday.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot and her “authentic” personality will be a cornerstone of the plan to “re-brand” Chicago and help the city recover from the economic havoc wreaked by the coronavirus, the city’s chief marketing officer said Thursday.

Michael Fassnacht. a former commercial advertising whiz, donated his time to work on former Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s failed pitch to attract Amazon’s second corporate headquarters.

Now, he’s Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s $1-a-year chief marketing officer, charged with developing a “master brand” for Chicago to rebuild a convention and tourism industry decimated by the pandemic.

That would be a mountain to climb even if Fassnacht had an advertising budget to support the re-branding campaign. But a city struggling to close a record $1.2 billion shortfall doesn’t have, as he put it, “the luxury to spend a lot of media dollars to try and buy eyeballs.”

Well... It IS Chicago.

But I bet they miss ol Daley, who was at least honest enough to have graft built right into the budget.

I was there in the Daley days. They were indeed corrupt, but they also absolutely made sure the city worked for it's residents.

This woman is a buffoon.
For those who can, get back to the land. Homesteading is a revolutionary act of resistance.

A fake leader should blather about authenticity.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is considering a $94 million property tax increase, layoffs for more than 300 city workers and a gas tax hike as part of her plan to close a $1.2 billion budget deficit, sources told the Tribune.

Lightfoot also is considering about $500 million in refinancing city debt to help close the deficit, sources said.  ...

Labor leaders will be trying to present the mayor enough cost-saving ideas in other areas to close the budget hole without layoffs or furloughs that will hurt their members. The mayor and union officials so far have been playing nice in public, and Bob Reiter, president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, said he wants to collaborate with the administration going forward to find solutions.  ...
