I know I should be more outraged because Democratic committeepeople filling legislative vacancies is one of the many outrageous things about Chicago politics that we’re supposed to feel outraged about.

That’s pretty outrageous.

And yet the Tribune—and Mayor Lightfoot, for that matter—went on to endorse Delgado.
