    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.

    How a Failed Assassination Attempt on Franklin Delano Roosevelt Ended in the Death of Anton Cermak, Mayor of Chicago

    Review Article Clinics in Surgery Published: 07 Jan, 2019 How A Failed Assassination Attempt on Franklin Delano Roosevelt Ended in the Death of Anton Cermak, Mayor of Chicago Theodore N Pappas* Department of Surgery, Duke University, Durham NC, North Carolina, USA Abstract On February 15 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was returning from a Florida fishing trip and passed through the Biscayne Park area of Miami to give a brief speech. The mayor of Chicago, Anton Cermak, was in Florida on vacation and planned to meet the president-elect just after the speech. Moments after Cermak and Roosevelt shook hands, several shots were fired. A 32-year-old bricklayer, Giuseppe Zangara, was attempting to assassinate Roosevelt but missed and hit Cermak and four other bystanders. Cermak was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he died 19 days later. This manuscript reviews the health care provided to the mayor during those 19 days. Although the cause of death has been contested, Anton Cermak probably recovered from his gunshot wounds but died of complicated ulcerative colitis. Introduction On February 15 1933, president-elect, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR), was returning from a fishing trip off Miami. He and his security detail were passing through the Biscayne Park area of Miami for an announced stop where he was to give a brief speech. At the same time the Mayor of Chicago, Anton Cermak, was on vacation in Florida and wanted to meet with the president-elect. He contacted Roosevelt’s team and was instructed to wait at the grandstand area of the Bay front Park where the president-elect would be able to meet with the mayor.

PMDs protect industrial operations by preventing all residential and many commercial uses of land in certain areas of the city. In 1988, Chicago began implementing PMDs to protect industrial operations that an influx of residential development—which had forced industrial companies to consider selling, relocating, or closing—threatened. Chicago continues to rely on PMDs. Fifteen PMDs currently operate, but some of these districts face increased scrutiny as Chicago’s industrial sector steadily declines.
