It would depend on if the Illinois constitution allows for this. Local Control flows from the State Constitutions. Its a question of the State level lawmakers having the ability to impose a recall for a local office.

From Chi-Town but now live in Tejas and believe the people of the state will allow the people of Chicago the right to recall the Mayor...

If Chicago's mayor is not corrupt, who would be mayor?

If the law allows it, sure.

If not, whining won't help.

They are thinking about changing the law to allow it. Only the Governor at this moment can be recalled and it is a Democrat that is introducing the bill...

While it is the Right of any citizen to push for the removal of any incompetent or corrupt (Rahm qualifies on both counts) I almost want them to be forced to suffer through more of his rule so that they might finally wake the hell up.

There should be recall machinations for ANY elected public servant.

See the last word in that statement. They serve at the people's pleasure.
