Mayor Rahm Emanuel presented a glowing picture of the city of Chicago, emphasizing his push for expanding access to education and job gains in a keynote address to the Society of American Business Editors and Writers \u00a0Friday evening.<\/p>\n

Left on the cutting room floor was any mention of the city\u2019s pension crisis, looming teacher negotiations and gang violence exemplified by Spike Lee\u2019s working title for his next film, \u201cChiraq,\u201d slated to start filming in Chicago\u2019s roughest South Side neighborhoods this summer.<\/p>\n

Emanuel focused his speech on Chicago\u2019s Star Scholarship program, which waives community college tuition fees for the city\u2019s high school students who graduate with at least a B average. \u201cThe city of Chicago is going to a Pre-K to college model,\u201d he said.

The mayor spoke about O\u2019Hare International Airport\u2019s runway expansion, system-wide improvements to Chicago Transit Authority\u2019s lines and his push to continue attracting businesses to the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs some of you may note, I\u2019m fresh from an election,\u201d Emanuel joked near the conclusion of his 30-minute speech. Emanuel secured his second term against challenger Jesus \u201cChuy\u201d Garcia, following the city\u2019s first mayoral runoff. Emanuel garnered 56 percent of the vote compared with Garcia\u2019s nearly 44 percent.<\/p>\n
