Aug 01, 2008 12:11 AMby Maude Standish
A group of Chicago parents, activists and workers fear the buyout of a for-profit education and social service provider by one of the nation's largest private equity firms will result in deep budget cuts and a reduction in quality.

Holding homemade signs, the group expressed concern that Bain's recent takeover of Watertown, Mass.- based Bright Horizons Family Solutions would lessen the quality of services locally provided by the company's centers.

Chicagoans react to Jesse Jackson's negative Obama comments
Jul 10, 2008 08:32 PMby Maude Standish
Chicago residents overwhelmingly felt frustrated by Rev. Jesse Jackson's statements that presidential candidate Barack Obama was "talking down to black people." Jackson's remarks came after Obama gave a speech calling for more parental responsibility in the black community. Jackson, unaware that the camera was rolling in a television studio, also whispered "I want to cut his nuts out."
In an informal poll of 10 people taken in the Loop Thursday, most said that they thought Jackson's comments were in poor taste whether or not he knew the microphone was on.
