Great reporting here from @jimdaleywrites, just in time for today’s City Council meeting. ShotSpotter simply doesn’t work—don’t be swayed by right-wing voices who want to spend big to bring it back.

NEW: Chicago spent $129M on overtime for members of the Chicago Police Department during the first 6 months of 2024 — nearly 30% more than the City Council set aside for CPD overtime in the city’s 2024 budget, I report with @JaredRutecki for @WTTW News. news.wttw.com/2024/09/30/chi…

Can’t think of anyone less qualified to “moderate” this forum than Gardiner—the guy who spends thousands of public tax dollars on private religious schools, and who welcomed a new public charter school to his ward last year.

A Chicago alderman tweets a... joke?... about attacks that killed dozens, including a 10-year-old girl, and wounded thousands.
The City Council has been extremely vocal condemning antisemitism. What should we call the contents of this tweet?
