Determined to assist them in bettering their circumstances, they founded the Chicago Missionary Society, a predecessor of the Community Renewal Society.

  • 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 READER | APRIL 21, 2006 | SECTION THREE 5 [email protected] The Meter www.chicagoreader.com/TheMeter The Treatment A day-by-day guide to our Just Right Critic’s Choices and other previews friday 21 After a series of musical matchups that didn’t quite fit, EEF BARZELAY Debut solo albums tend three childhood pals put together their dream band, the 1900s. c toward the personal and/or confessional, so it was reasonable to expect that the songs on Eef Barzelay’s Bitter By Bob Mehr Honey (Spinart) would be more autobiographical than the ones he writes and sings for Brooklyn indie rockers Clem Snide. But he quashes that preconception with the disc’s opening line: “That was my ass you saw bouncing next to Ludacris.” Said ass belongs not to Barzelay but to a hip-hop video vixen who’s a nursing-school dropout and the daughter of a cleaning woman; on “Ballad of Bitter Honey” she explains how and why she manipulates men. Barzelay gifts her with just enough self-consciousness to lock her insights between wisdom and rationalization, his empathy never waning. Bitter Honey is just Barzelay and his acoustic guitar, which means his vocals are even more of a take-it-or-leave-it proposition than usual. Me, I say his affectations are more supple, and the tension between his nerdy nasality and confi- dent projection lends pathos to lines like “You looks so pretty when you have been drinking.” Prior to last year’s rocking and restless End of Love, Clem Snide had been growing qui- eter and more acoustic with each release, with Barzelay’s lyrics growing sunnier and less incisive.
