Davis doesn’t dispute that she hasn’t paid rent for seven years. She said the state, which pays rent for district offices, requires a lease agreement in order to make payments, and she was unable to obtain new lease papers from the school district despite numerous attempts. “I in no way attempted not to pay them rent,” said Davis. “But how are you going to pay rent without a lease?” Yeah, “in no way” did she want to skip out on her obligation to pay her rent. Suuurrrre.Yeah, and that is convenient, isn’t it? Just don’t bother getting a lease and apparently rent is free! But can we blame this all on Davis? Of course not. We can also blame it on the School Board for not dealing with this and allowing this woman to live rent free for close to a decade! What do you think will happen to me if I just decide not to pay my mortgage any more? Can I just claim there is a snafu but stay anyway? Oh, wait…. I ain’t a Democrat. Nuts, real rules still apply to me. It’s my luck that Republicans, and other non-criminals don’t benefit from the Chicago way.
