In a surprise move, Ald. Michael Scott Jr. (24th), Mayor Lori Lightfoot's hand-picked Education Committee chairman, is resigning his City Council seat to join Cinespace Studios. The departure gives Mayor Lori Lightfoot the ability to appoint her second alderperson. The first was 11th Ward Ald. Nicole Lee, who replaced Patrick Daley Thompson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A month ago, Nicole Lee was appointed by Mayor Lori Lightfoot to finish the term of former 11th Ward Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson, following his conviction for tax fraud. An alderperson's responsibilities include voting on legislation, constituent services, allocating resources to the ward, and more. Lee is a third-generation Chinatown resident, Whitney Young alumna, and she most recently led community engagement at United Airlines. Lee is Chicago's first Chinese American alderperson, in a city where Asian Americans are the fastest growing ethnic group. Her appointment comes at a critical time as the ward remapping process continues. The two proposed maps each redraw the 11th ward as the city's first Asian American–majority ward. We visited Ald. Lee at her Bridgeport office ahead of her first full City Council meeting Wednesday.  Some Good News: ChiTeen Lit Fest 2022 Follow us on Twitter: @CityCastChicago Sign up for our newsletter: chicago.citycast.fm Call or Text Us: (773) 780-0246 Learn more about your ad choices.

Crain's editorial jumped onboard hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin's propaganda train to help him steer attention from the biggest grift in the city that also has the most detrimental impact on communities - Chicago's tax increment financing program. This pro-business cult for some reason have absolutely no problem with the city using taxpayer funds to subsidize corporations. This is traditional Chicago grift on steroids as corporations whose sole purposes it to make money have found a source of endless money to subsidize their efforts in TIFs. Mayor after mayor after mayor have used this grift to steal money from taxpayers and have used it to reward their donors and keep white wealthy Chicago happy. I mean someone has to pay for all those cranes you see all over the Fulton Market and the West Loop. In 2020 this grift siphoned off just over $1 billion from the city's general revenue fund and put it in to special off the books accounts that the mayor controls and doles out for political favors. Richard M Daley started this grift in Chicago and both Emanuel and Lightofoot have continued it despite their public rhetoric about reforms and transparency. No mayor candidate should ever be voted in to office without a firm commitment in writing to end TIFs in Chicago. No mayor should ever be re-elected without ending TIFs in his/her first term. Poverty is the main driver of crime and violence in Chicago but that is something that neither Crain's nor Griffin want to discuss because that would force them to do some soul searching about their role in creating the circumstances that these communities confront everyday. Instead Crain's give advice to Griffin and the business community to donate to street outreach organizations. The same organizations named by Crain's said themselves on our podcast that they are a mere band aid and that even with a massive increase in funding they will never be equipped to confront the real drives of crime and violence in Chicago, poverty.

Durante la consulta del presupuesto de la ciudad 2021, que se lleva a cabo por el Concilio Municipal, varios concejales han solicitado a la alcaldesa Lori Lightfoot encontrar alternativas al aumento de impuestos a la propiedad que propone. Aseguran que los ciudadanos no pueden permitirse un aumento de impuestos a la propiedad de ningún tamaño, y mucho menos de $94 millones, seguido de aumentos anuales vinculados a la inflación, como establece el plan presupuestal de Lightfoot. En su propuesta la alcaldesa calificó de modesto el aumento de $94 millones al impuesto porque, según dijo, le costará al propietario de una casa valorada en $250,000 sólo $56 más cada año. Sin embargo, los concejales destacaron que el incremento significará una nueva revaluación de todas las propiedades que golpeará a los dueños de viviendas y negocios. Según el concejal Harry Osterman, del Distrito 48, esa revaluación podría alcanzar aumentos de hasta 70% en impuestos para los propietarios, lo que ahuyentaría de la ciudad a muchos. El concejal Patrick Daley Thompson, del Distrito 11, insistió en mantener los impuestos a la propiedad lo más bajos posible y buscar otras fuentes de ingresos. En defensa de la medida, la directora financiera Jennie Huang Bennett aclaró que será un aumento anual a los impuestos a la propiedad y aseguró que los $94 millones son una “solución estructural” que no se cancelaría, incluso si hubiera un rescate federal. También se abordaron temas como la reestructuración y refinanciamiento de $1.7 mil millones en obligaciones generales para ahorrar $448 millones este año y $501 millones el próximo. Además, el despido de 350 trabajadores, previsto hasta el 1 de marzo en espera de un nuevo rescate financiero federal. El proyecto de presupuesto 2021 para Chicago seguirá en consultas en el Concilio Municipal durante las próximas semanas. Se espera que antes del Día de Acción de Gracias se tenga ya una decisión sobre su integración.
