  • 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
    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.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 26, 2017 CONTACT: Mayor’s Press Office (312) 744-3334 [email protected] Department of Planning and Development (DPD) (312) 744-9267 CITY COUNCIL PASSES MODERNIZED NORTH BRANCH DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS Plan Will Foster New Industrial, Commercial Development Throughout Chicago City Council today passed Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s landmark plan to modernize the North Branch Industrial Corridor. 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.

  • Scavenger Sale Study
    SCAVENGER SALE COOK COUNTY TREASURER MARIA PAPPAS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Page 1 of 3) 1. The Cook County Treasurer’s Office collects 99.5% of property taxes billed for any given tax year after the Annual Tax Sale is held. Delinquent taxes will be included in a Scavenger Sale only if the property has unpaid taxes for three or more years over a 20-year period. By the time the Scavenger Sale is held, only 0.23% of taxes for any year will be offered at the Scavenger Sale. • Slides 7, 8 2. The purpose of the Scavenger Sale is not to collect delinquent taxes, but it is to find new owners and get the properties back on the tax rolls. Per the Illinois Supreme Court, the Scavenger Sale “assumes that the other available methods of tax collection have been exhausted” and “is designed, as a last resort, to extinguish tax liens and forfeitures and to attempt to restore the property to a productive status.” In re Application of Rosewell (Levin), 97 Ill. 2d 434, 442 (1983). • Slide 9 3. The process to go to deed on a residential property takes more than two and a half years. This lengthy process may discourage participation and bidding at the Scavenger Sale. • Slides 12, 13 4. Properties offered at Scavenger Sales do not generate interest from tax buyers. Over the seven Scavenger Sales from 2007 through 2019, a mere 8,449 properties (5.8%) of 145,030 properties offered were actually sold to private buyers. 136,581 properties (94.2%) were not sold to private buyers.

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.

    COOK COUNTY CLERK DAVID ORR 69 W. Washington, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60602 TEL (312) 603-0996 FAX (312) 603-9788 WEB cookcountyclerk.com Dear Friends: The March 15, 2016 Presidential Primary shattered modern-day records going back more than 25 years. The popularity of initiatives such as Online Voter Registration and Election Day Registration, as well as registration and voting for 17-year-olds, proved there is a great desire by voters to take part in the electoral process. This was the first presidential election to include Election Day Registration and voting by 17-year- olds who will be 18-years-old by the General Election – offerings we found to be very popular with suburban Cook County voters. This 2016 Presidential Primary Post-Election Report takes a comprehensive look at the voting totals, trends and statistics during the March primary throughout suburban Cook County. Below is a sample size of the standout primary numbers: • Voting before Election Day – by mail, or during early voting and grace period voting – accounted for 22 percent of all ballots cast in this election. • Early Voting set a new primary record with 113,641 ballots cast in a Presidential Primary. • More than 23,000 suburban Cook County voters took advantage of Election Day Registration. • Nearly 4,400 17-year-olds voted, accounting for 62 percent of the 7,085 who registered to vote. • Donald Trump won 25 of the 30 Suburban Cook County Townships, garnering his best total in Stickney Township, with 62.1 percent of the vote. • Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were separated by just nine votes in Norwood Park Township (Clinton: 1,859; Sanders: 1,850).

  • 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.
