    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.

Northwestern University Law Review Vol. 107, No. 3 Articles CONTESTED SHORE: PROPERTY RIGHTS IN RECLAIMED LAND AND THE BATTLE FOR STREETERVILLE Joseph D. Kearney & Thomas W. Merrill ABSTRACT-Land reclaimed from navigable waters is a resource uniquely susceptible to conflict. The multiple reasons for this include traditional hostility to interference with navigable waterways and the weakness of rights in submerged land. In Illinois, title to land reclaimed from Lake Michigan was further clouded by a shift in judicial understanding in the late nineteenth century about who owned the submerged land, starting with an assumption of private ownership but eventually embracing state ownership. The potential for such legal uncertainty to produce conflict is vividly illustrated by the history of the area of Chicago known as Streeterville, the area of reclaimed land along Lake Michigan north of the Chicago River and east of Michigan Avenue.

  • Your House Has a History
    COMMISSION ON CHICAGO LANDMARKS YOUR HOUSE HAS A HISTORY A Step-by-Step Guide to Researching Your Property CITY OF CHICAGO Richard M. Daley, Mayor Department of Planning and Development Alicia Mazur Berg, Commissioner YOUR HOUSE HAS A HISTORY You own a lovely home that you're proud to call your own. But someone owned it before you. Someone built it, cared for it, and made changes through the years to it. And now you're interested in finding out the "who, when and what" of your property. Researching your house can be fun, fascinating and completely engrossing. This pamphlet will help you begin, offering advice on how to identify basic information about your house and your neighborhood. It is designed to take you systematically through the process. Using the sources discussed here, you can identify: the date your house was built, if an architect is associated with its design, who had it built, and the changes that have been made to it over the years. Be sure to read the appendix as well, where detailed information on resources can be found. However, beware! Research can become addictive. It can also be frustrating. You may exhaust every source possible and still not find the answers to your questions. But no matter how many questions remain unanswered, you will have unearthed some interesting information, learned a little more about your community, and become familiar with some important public institutions in the city. So, have fun, and good luck. TIP: Getting Started To best organize your time while conducting this research, read through this pamphlet and identify all the resources you want to consult while at a particular library or historical society.

  • Washington Script
    “A Slow Walk to Greatness: The Harold Washington Story” This is “A Slow Walk to Greatness: The Harold Washington Story.” Harold Washington was Chicago’s first black mayor. His 1983 mayoral election held global significance. Chicago is a major American city that has always been known for segregation and for political corruption. Washington’s election sent the message that individuals can positively impact politics and that if Chicago could achieve greater equality, than similar cities were capable of the same. Harold Washington was a native Chicagoan and son of a politician. He grew up on Chicago’s South Side, attended DuSable High School and enlisted in the Army during World War II. Returning home, he earned his undergraduate degree from Roosevelt College, and in 1952 earned a law degree from Northwestern University. He served 15 years in the Illinois State Legislature and one and a half terms in the United States House of Representatives before becoming a candidate in Chicago’s 1983 mayoral race. Practiced law and served as Chicago attorney 1954 – 1958 Elected successively to: Illinois House of Representatives 1965 – 1976 Illinois State Senate 1976 – 1980 U.S. House of Representatives 1980 – 1983 Initially, Washington did not want to run for Chicago mayor. A candidate needs 25,000 signatures of registered voters to be on the ballot. Washington asked his supporters to gain 50,000 signatures before he would consider it. They gathered over 100,000 signatures! In 1983, Washington successfully campaigned for mayor of Chicago on a platform of reform and an end to city patronage. Harold Washington’s election as Chicago’s first black mayor gained national attention.
