22nd Ward

Mayor Lori Lightfoot recently said helping vendors not carry cash may deter robberies along 26th Street. Vendors say they want more police and carrying less cash would create other problems for their businesses.

The Target distribution center known as Exchange 55 was the site of a botched implosion of an old coal smokestack during its redevelopment by Hilco.

Chicago has experienced more frequent and severe storms in recent decades, putting immigrants and low-income Chicagoans living in basement units at increased risk of flooding.

The highest-paid alderpeople will make $142,772 next year, thanks to a nearly 10 percent raise. The lowest-paid alderperson makes $115,560, by comparison.

The measure is non-binding, meaning it does not compel the mayor to do anything. It now falls to the city's Department of Law, which is under Mayor Lori Lightfoot's purview, to make the call.

The measure can't force officials to release the report, but Ald. Mike Rodriguez said it will put pressure on the Lightfoot administration to make the report public.

Ald. Michael Rodriguez wants the city to enact a "clawback" ordinance that would revoke economic development tax incentives given to corporations that “betray the public’s trust.”

When the Democratic committeeman is sworn in as alderman in May, it will be the first time the 22nd Ward will have a new alderman in 26 years.

With 76 percent of precincts reporting, Rodriguez has captured 64 percent of the vote in the four-way race.
