LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men (sic.) do nothing.” --Edmund Burke In 1882 several “good” people of faith, were concerned and troubled by the social conditions in which some of their fellow Chicagoans lived. Determined to assist them in bettering their circumstances, they founded the Chicago Missionary Society, a predecessor of the Community Renewal Society. Since that time of urbanization and industrialization, which brought a massive influx of European immigrants to this city, Community Renewal has endeavored to ensure that the quality of life for all Chicagoans, regardless of their station, racial or ethnic identity, or their economic circumstance, was in keeping with God’s love for all, “especially the least of these.” Chicago still faces glaring inequalities and troubling disparities Honoring our historic legacy, we at Community among its people, including a widening gulf between rich and Renewal Society organize and train good people poor.

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. -
