It Will Never Be The Same

It has been a good run for Sidney Chism but it's coming to a close. He is known in Democratic circles in the black community as the "Godfather" of local politics. All the influence the Teamsters Union has bought him over the years is on the decline. Plus he no longer has the ear of the top man in the city. So it doesn't look like anyone that's running for mayor listens or cares what he has to say. The mayor kind of let the cat out of the bag yesterday during his resignation speech. When he said "Sidney Chism never wants me to retire." I know Chism had to be thinking to himself. "I sure hate to see Willie leave. It will never be the same."
