#BlockClubChicago should be ashamed for accepting this "sponsorship" ad from #ChicagoIndex, which is an irresponsible fake polling outfit. #ChiMayor23

They should be even more ashamed if they report on the results.

Via #MickDumke, now investigations editor at #BlockClubChicago, artists/entertainers have donated to #ChiMayor23 candidates:

* Sophia King received contributions from artist Theaster Gates ($16,000) and actor Harry Lennix and his wife, Djena Graves Lennix ($16,000 total).

* Susan Sarandon sent $2,000 to Ja'Mal Green’s campaign

* Chuy García’s campaign received $100,000 from Cardenas Marketing Network, which books shows for top Latin acts such as Bad Bunny and Marc Antony.

Dear #BlockClubChicago:

Just because she says it doesn't mean it's true! She wouldn't be human if she wasn't bothered! And this mayor of all mayors, who feels slighted by the wind when it blows on her!
