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.

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.

We Must Care. We Must All Care. And While I Am Working, While The Governments Is Working, So Must The People Also Work.
