Jane Byrne was good for Chicago - she started all of the neighborhood festivals including the epic Taste of Chicago. She was mayor during the hard national economic times of 1979-1983 yet still managed to do a lot. To this day, she is the ONLY woman to serve as mayor of 1 of the 3 largest cities in the USA.

She was supposed to attend my junior high graduation ceremony. She sent an aid instead. Other then that, I was just a kid and had no interest in politics.

Jane "The Witch" Byrne. Byrne Witch Byrne. She stayed drunk in office after her second year as Mayor and was a puppet for the two Eddies, "Vardolyak and Burk.
