    Chicago's Evolving City Council Chicago City Council Report #9

    Chicago’s Evolving City Council Chicago City Council Report #9 June 17, 2015 – March 29, 2017 Authored By: Dick Simpson Maureen Heffern Ponicki Allyson Nolde Thomas J. Gradel University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science May 17, 2017 2 Since Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the new Chicago City Council were sworn in two years ago, there have been 67 divided roll call votes or roughly three per month. A divided roll call vote is not unanimous because at least one or more aldermen votes against the mayor and his administration. The rate of divided roll call votes – twice the rate in Emanuel’s first four year term – combined with an increase in the number of aldermen voting against the mayor – are indications that the aldermen are becoming more independent. Clearly, the city council is less of a predictable “rubber stamp” than it was during Mayor Richard M. Daley’s 22 years and Emanuel’s first four year term from 2011-2015. However, this movement away from an absolute rubber stamp is small and city council is only glacially evolving. The increase in aldermanic independence is confirmed by a downward trend in the vote agreement with the mayor, with only five aldermen voting with him 100% of the time and another 22 voting with him 90%. The number of aldermen voting with the mayor less than 90% of the time on divided votes has risen to 23 over the last two years. Aldermen are also more willing to produce their own legislation and proposed solutions to critical city problems than in the past rather than wait for, or to clear their proposals with, the 5th floor.

    From Rubber Stamp to a Divided City Council Chicago City Council Report #11 June 12, 2019 – April 24, 2020 Authored By: Dick Simpson Marco Rosaire Rossi Thomas J. Gradel University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science April 28, 2020 The Chicago Municipal Elections of 2019 sent earthquake-like tremors through the Chicago political landscape. The biggest shock waves caused a major upset in the race for Mayor. Chicago voters rejected Toni Preckwinkle, President of the Cook County Board President and Chair of the Cook County Democratic Party. Instead they overwhelmingly elected former federal prosecutor Lori Lightfoot to be their new Mayor. Lightfoot is a black lesbian woman and was a partner in a major downtown law firm. While Lightfoot had been appointed head of the Police Board, she had never previously run for any political office. More startling was the fact that Lightfoot received 74 % of the vote and won all 50 Chicago's wards. In the same elections, Chicago voters shook up and rearranged the Chicago City Council. seven incumbent Aldermen lost their seats in either the initial or run-off elections. A total of 12 new council members were victorious and were sworn in on May 20, 2019 along with the new Mayor. The new aldermen included five Socialists, five women, three African Americans, five Latinos, two council members who identified as LGBT, and one conservative Democrat who formally identified as an Independent. Before, the victory parties and swearing-in ceremonies were completed, politically interested members of the general public, politicians, and the news media began speculating about how the relationship between the new Mayor and the new city council would play out.

Supported by Aldermen Walter Burnett, Brian Hopkins, Roderick Sawyer, Michelle Harris, Patrick Thompson, Ed Burke, Raymond Lopez, Derrick Curtis, Ricardo Munoz, Michael Scott, Daniel Solis, Jason Ervin, Gilbert Villegas, Marge Laurino, Emma Mitts, and Anthony Beale, the reforms will enable the North Branch Industrial Corridor to evolve as a vibrant, mixed- use business center while generating tens of millions of dollars for industrial and commercial development throughout the city. “Chicago’s industrial policies have been focused on the rear view mirror for too long,” Mayor Emanuel said. “These improvements are designed around the future, especially the mixed-use business districts that attract and support the jobs of tomorrow.” Proposed as part of the Mayor’s Industrial Corridor Modernization Initiative, the improvements will establish contemporary zoning regulations for the 760-acre North Branch Industrial Corridor, create two new funding streams to support industrial development across the city, and expand the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund to promote additional investment in South and West side commercial corridors, among other improvements. “These improvements will support industrial investment, commercial investment, and infrastructure investment with millions of dollars of private dollars that wouldn't otherwise exist. The impact will go a long way for neighborhoods throughout the city," said Alderman Burnett.

The City of Chicago has commissioned dozens of local artists to create new sculptures, murals and other public artworks in all 50 wards this summer and fall— representing a $1 million investment in artist-led community projects. 50x50 is part of the Year of Public Art, a citywide initiative involving DCASE, the Department of Transportation, Chicago Park District, Chicago Public Library, Chicago Transit Authority and other departments to bring more art into public spaces. “The Year of Public Art is a celebration of the lasting contributions the arts make to communities across Chicago” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. “In every neighborhood in Chicago there are talented artists, working across all mediums, who can add to the cultural fabric of their communities. The 50x50 Neighborhood Arts Project is a $1 million investment in Chicago's neighborhoods, building on Chicago's legacy of public art and enabling local artists to share their work with the world." Additionally, DCASE, in collaboration with the Department of Family and Support Services, have also set aside opportunities for a Public Art Youth Corps paid internship program as part of One Summer Chicago.

    Rahm Emanuel's Rubber Stamp City Council

    Rahm Emanuel’s Rubber Stamp City Council Chicago City Council Report #7 June 8, 2011- November 15, 2014 Authored By: Beyza Buyuker Melissa Mouritsen Dick Simpson University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science December 9, 2014 By Thanksgiving 2014, more than 250 candidates had filed to run for alderman as had ten mayoral candidates. The city council approved Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s $7.3 billion budget with $62.4 million in tax increases by a vote of 46-4 and the following week approved an ordinance to raise the minimum wage to 13 on hour by 2019. At the same time, three aldermen called upon the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Chicago Inspector General, and the city comptroller to investigate potentially illegal campaign contributions to Mayor Emanuel from financial firms that manage city pension funds. As the 2015 elections loom, it is a time of both controversy and strong mayoral control of the city council. Despite signs of occasional controversy and opposition, the city council under Mayor Rahm Emanuel has remained a rubber stamp. Mayor Emanuel has recently lost some support compared to his first two years as the council has had more frequent divided roll call votes. Nonetheless, it continues as a rubber stamp council. In fact, for his entire three and a half years under Mayor Emanuel it has remained more of a rubber stamp than under either Mayors Richard J. or Richard M. Daley. Histograms of voting behavior show that the city council in the last two years under the Mayor Emanuel was more likely to disagree with mayor than during his first two years.

    Chicago's City Council's Increasing Independence

    Chicago's City Council's Increasing Independence Chicago City Council Report May 7, 2003 – November 15, 2006 Authored By: Dick Simpson and Tom Kelly University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science December 27, 2006 1 In our earlier study of the Chicago City Council, from May 7, 2003 until December 7, 2005, we highlighted the Council’s newly found independence. In this last year, from December 15, 2005 to November 15, 2006, there has been increasing independence in city council voting. During the last eleven months there have been 20 divided role call votes, approximately two per month. The average aldermanic support for the mayor on these key divided votes has decreased slightly from 84% to 83%. More importantly, the mayor lost the “Foie Gras Ban” and the more critical “Big Box” ordinance, which for the first time since he was elected in 1989, forced him to use his mayoral veto. His father, Richard J. Daley, did not have to use the mayoral veto during his 22 years in office. On the other hand, Mayor Harold Washington used his veto powers frequently during his first four-year term. This Mayor Daley’s near total control of the previously rubber stamp city council has been weakened by the continuing patronage and corruption scandals. He has faced growing opposition at the grassroots, including labor unions, community groups, and organizing in the minority communities by previous and current mayoral candidates Jesse Jackson Jr., Luis Gutierrez, Dorothy Brown, and Bill "Dock" Walls. Five major issues have dominated the city council in the last year: (1) foie gras ban in restaurants, (2) aldermanic pay, (3) minimum wage requirements for large retailers (“Big Box Ordinance”), (4) a requirement for hotels to inform guests of a hotel workers’ strike, and (5) the downtown parking garage deal.

Udstuen, Director Appointing Authority: County Board Chairmen, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will Counties Philip A. Pagano, Executive Director TO FRIENDS OF COMMUTER RAIL: Chairman’s Welcome to Metra’s 2002 Program and Budget. It Message describes good news such as further ridership growth, steady progress on our three New Start projects, and ongoing capital improvements including orders for badly needed new cars and locomotives. Meanwhile, the costs of providing safe, reliable, convenient and comfortable commuter rail service have steadily increased. Thus, our proposed 2002 operating budget envisions our first fare increase in six years, 5%, which will likely take effect June 1. I think it’s important to note that this will be only the fourth fare increase in the 18 years of Metra’s management of the Northeast Illinois commuter rail system. And it will be only the third one for operations. A fare hike that took effect in 1989 was dedicated solely to capital projects, namely the physical improvements that preserve and improve our serv- ice — and in turn reduce operating costs.
