It's the Economy!

We, at the Chatham Avalon Park Community Council, feel the top priority of the new incoming Barack Obama Administration should be the economy. With the impact unemployment, especially among African-American men of the Generation X group in double digit percentages, is having on our community in the form of a higher crime rate, excluding even that rate from the influx of former Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) residents, we hope the new President and his White House staff will take heeding to this problem quickly.
