Emanuel Aims to Boost Bid for Obama Library

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel “is doing a big favor for the University of Chicago, commandeering parkland to bolster its bid for the Barack Obama Presidential Library,” Crain’s Chicago Business reports.

“His magnanimous gesture boosts U of C’s chances of beating out Columbia Universityin New York to become the library’s home. A win would add new luster to the university’s already considerable prestige.”
