"In the first 30 days, Emanuel announced the addition of 2,700 new jobs (which he hasn't been shy about touting), hosted the first conference in the nation on food deserts and kept his campaign promise to put more cops on the street.

He started the month strong, with the Senate passing the Illinois DREAM Act days after Emanuel made a point of supporting the legislation in his inauguaration speech. From there, per his pre-office strategy, Chicago Public Schools and economic strength remained at the forefront. So did transparency, as evidenced by the first-ever posting of city workers' salaries online."
