Business Affairs and Consumer Protection MEMORANDUM To: The Honorable Carrie M. Austin Chairman, Committee on the Budget and Government Operations From: Rosemary Krimbel Commissioner Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection CC: Maria Guerra Mayor’s Office of Legislative Counsel and Government Affairs Date: Thursday, November 15, 2012 Re: Request for Information from Annual Appropriation Committee Hearing The attached information is in response to questions posed at our department’s hearing on Thursday, October 25th 2012 to discuss the 2013 budget. Alderman Reilly requested data comparing Cease and Desist orders issued for the 17 months when BACP physically participated in CPD’s night missions vs. the following 17 months when BACP’s collaboration with CPD did not include BACP staff being physically present. By providing CPD with access to licensing data and following up on police reports during normal daytime work hours, BACP has increased the number of Cease and Desist orders issued while eliminating the use of overtime and stopping the practice of inserting BACP investigators into dangerous situations for which they are not trained or equipped in the same manner that Police Officers are trained and equipped. The data is below by ward in table format. # C&D’s ISSUED # C&D’s ISSUED WARD 2010-2011 2011-2012 Proco Joe Moreno 1 9 11 Bob Fioretti 2 1 3 Patricia R. Dowell 3 1 0 William D.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Emanuel and Lightfoot City Councils: Chicago City Council Report #12 June 12, 2019 – May 18, 2021
    1 Emanuel and Lightfoot City Councils: Chicago City Council Report #12 June 12, 2019 – May 18, 2021 Authored By: Dick Simpson Marco Rosaire Rossi Thomas J. Gradel With Acknowlegements To: Chi Hack Night UIC Institute for Policy and Civic Engagement University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science May 18, 2021 2 Lori Lightfoot, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and a partner in a prestigious high- powered law firm, was sworn into office on May 20, 2019 as Mayor of the City of Chicago. A few weeks earlier, Lightfoot overwhelmingly carried all 50 Chicago wards and defeated former Alderman and Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle, Sworn in the same day were 50 aldermen. As voting members of the City Council, they, together with Mayor Lightfoot, would govern Chicago, the third largest city in the nation. This new council included a dozen freshman aldermen, seven of whom defeated incumbents. Among these twelve were five women, three African Americans, five Latinos, two members who identified as LGBT, five members of the Democratic Socialists of America, and one independent. The public and the news media questioned how the new Mayor and the City Council would work together. Would the Council continue to be a "Rubber Stamp," and agree to everything the Mayor wanted? Or would it be "Council Wars" all over again? For much of Chicago's history since the mid-1950s, the Council has been a Rubber Stamp. That was true under the 43 years dominated by Mayors Richard J. and Richard M. Daley. It was mostly true under Mayors Michael Bilandic, Jane Byrne, and Rahm Emanuel.

  • Cc: Alderman Daniel Laspata
    March 30, 2020 J.B. Pritzker, Governor State of Illinois 207 State House Springfield, IL 62706 Dear Gov. Pritzker: On behalf of the Chicago City Council Latino Caucus, I am writing during this time of crisis to urge you to utilize your executive powers to blunt the impact of the increasing number of households statewide that are experiencing the loss of wages. As April 1st approaches, many renter households will find themselves in a very difficult position to cover the cost of rent; which will only worsen as the “shelter-in-place” orders are in effect, and businesses remain shuttered and experience reduced revenues. We need you to immediately repeal the Rent Control Preemption Act, establish a “rent holiday” (a period wherein renters will not be obligated to pay rent), and mortgage forgiveness for the duration of the “shelter-in-place” order and the 3 months following to help families retain their earnings in order to weather this calamity. While we hope the relief efforts enacted will help the most vulnerable Illinoisans, 11% of the workforce in Chicago remain at high-risk of losing part of their wages (if not their entire income) as a result of the “quarantine economy - that’s 391,428 people in one city. One-time pay-outs fall short of the systemic remedies this crisis demands as we see Illinois’ infection rate climb, and elected leadership suggests prolonging the standing order to stay indoors. Communities are unable to respond adequately to this crisis affecting hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans who have and continue to lose wages because an antiquated law stripped power away from local governments and the people.
