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.

Mayor Emanuel Announces New Public Art in All 50
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 22, 2017 CONTACT: Mayor’s Press Office 312.744.3334 [email protected] MAYOR EMANUEL ANNOUNCES NEW PUBLIC ART IN ALL 50 WARDS AS PART OF THE YEAR OF PUBLIC ART The 50x50 Neighborhood Arts Project represents a $1 million investment in artist-led community projects in Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Mark Kelly, Commissioner of the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), joined aldermen and cultural leaders today at the National Museum of Mexican Art to announce the artists participating in the 50x50 Neighborhood Arts Project. 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.

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.
