U.S.: Emanuel’s Chicago mayoral candidacy struck down by court
- NO Rahm Emanuel is not eligible to run for mayor of Chicago source
- ยป What happened: A state appeals court ruled that while Rahm owned property in Chicago for the requisite amount of time necessary (one year), he wasn’t actually living there, and thus is ineligible for the election. In a world in which rivals sometimes accuse each other of being “carpet-baggers,” it probably stings to have an official ruling saying so.
