Garcia,
of course, is the mayoral hopeful whom it seems has finished in second place in
the municipal election. Because it appears Mayor Rahm Emanuel finished a few
percentage points short of a majority, the two are now running against each
other come April 7.
YET
THE “JESUS” who was all over the television news throughout the day Tuesday was
Jesus Davila.
The
suburban Naperville resident was the big winner of a record-high prize ($265
million) in the Mega Millions Lottery game, and he chose to come forward and
claim his prize on Tuesday.
Because
he’s choosing to take his prize in one lump sum rather than distributed over
the next couple of decades, he’s getting a smaller amount. Taxes also will be
deducted.
But
the 70-year-old man is still in line for a $127 million payout. Which I’m sure
intrigues the general public more than the 34 percent of the vote that Garcia
seems to have taken toward his mayoral aspirations.
