Joe Moreno

The community organizer and former policy staffer at Friends of the Parks says his win was part of a progressive wave in Chicago.

Controversy was a thorn in Moreno's side this election season.

One of Moreno's ex-aides claims the alderman once asked his staffers to take their shirts off at a bar for a pay raise "contest." Meanwhile Moreno blasted the "absurd, false charges."

The city's Community Development Commission is slated to consider the $900 million Cortland/Chicago River TIF proposal Tuesday.

“I apologize unequivocally for the photo,” La Spata said. “The photograph and the costumes were not racially motivated, but I understand how it could be perceived.”

Charges were dropped against the woman Tuesday. "I don't like any of this. It really bothers me. Nothing happened," she told Block Club.

Developers are continuing to flock to Logan Square, Wicker Park and Bucktown — and some aldermen overseeing those neighborhoods are reaping the benefits.

Victor Reyes, former head of the powerful Hispanic Democratic Organization, complained Solis wasn't sending him business like Joe Moreno, George Cardenas, Ricardo Munoz and Roberto Maldonado.

“My concern is the very poor,” Ald. James Cappleman said. “No alderman has done more for the homeless in Chicago than I have.”

Though they're usually on opposite sides of the spectrum, Alds. Moreno and Ramirez-Rosa found themselves in a similar position at Tuesday night's debate.

Candidates running for alderman in the 1st, 32nd and 35th wards are scheduled to attend.

Ald. Joe Moreno (1st) spent much of the meeting defending the apartment project, saying it will provide "tremendous benefits" to the community.

The scooter-sharing service often spawns a side industry — "Juicers" who search for Bird and Lime scooters to re-charge overnight for a slight payout.

A source said Yeti could be close to announcing a dedicated Wicker Park store, just the second in the world for the booming brand.

The grants, which will be discussed at a Monday meeting, were created to keep longtime homeowners in the neighborhood.

A five-story, 60-unit project is the latest development proposed along the 1700 block of North Western Avenue.

Ald. Joe Moreno (1st) introduced an ordinance this week that calls for landlords to give tenants more warning before hiking up the rent.

The affordable housing complex focused on LGBTQ+ residents is "desperately needed" in a neighborhood that has been dealing with skyrocketing rents and gentrification, supporters say.

After asking a woman to move her car, the alderman allegedly flashed a "badge" before saying, "You better pay your parking tickets! This is how we do it in Chicago!"
