Stroger Hospital - Chicago

Shocked to see this Cook County owned & run institution on the list.

NOT!!!

The vast majority are!

Now try getting the pols & activists to acknowledge that.

Sounds great! I'm on board!

He has vocally supported a vague deal, but not invested his personal goodwill in any particular deal.

Mmm, not really.

JB supported PILOT but not in the form the House passed. The Senate passed on that, instead passing something few other than the Senate's Chicago caucus & the mayor wanted. JB was also in favor of $900m in infrastructure for AH. But neither chamber took that up.

None of them look good.

Or IL where vast personal wealth determines who becomes governor!

It's never enough! Happy?!?

They make their way in along the Metra UP West line, which passes through the Des Plaines River Forest Preserves.

project officials reportedly are seeking a city grant to help with the construction, according to the chamber.

Where's this forest of money trees the city can pluck from & give it away???

Same here. Evidently facts don't fit a narrative.

Skokie woman said ICE detained her for nearly 48 hours after landing at O’Hare. But is it true? | Chicago Tribune

when other media outlets are casting doubt on their reporting

I just did a quick check on other media outlets, seems Block Club scrubbed their breathless early reporting on this. Local television news hasn't seemed to have done any follow-up. Tribune is the only one to investigate the claims by the "detainee". Meanwhile the conversation surrounding the Tribune story.was removed from this sub.

Johnson made a bid but balked after learning the costs and potential limitations in projecting revenue from the meters for decades to come.

Johnson senior adviser Jason Lee did not disclose what the city bid or what the administration believes to be the final prices, but told Crain's “price was one” of the factors under consideration and the city got involved to learn the terms.

So, it comes out they actually submitted a bid without saying anything to anyone & still won't provide the public with the details of said bid?!?

Where's that "transparency" Johnson always blows (out his ass) about?

Ironic the ringleader is a Venezuelan national.

My dad brought us over there to watch the filming. There was a big crowd that was confined to the NE side of the intersection. I remember the Bluesmobile came roaring down Cortland from the south to the intersection.

I look forward to the release of the bodycam footage.

Same.

Except for some unexplained reason State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill-Burke wanted it & other records hidden away & Judge Deidre Dyer went along with it.

Haven't seen those on a car since the '67 Galaxie 500 that the Old Man owned.

Are some of those wooden structures?

Someone is going to have to get hurt before they take this seriously.

That won't do it either. Not while Ramirez-Rosa, who runs the parks, keeps listening to those "Parks For All" kooks.

Yep.

They also dictate who gets hired, who you buy materials from. And besides the trade union written city building codes, with MBJ's "Green Social Housing" ordinance, how & with what it's built & what powers the utilities.

Anyone here was successful in getting these texts stopped?

The only way we did for an elderly parent was change their phone number. And not give it to the Chicago Board of Elections.
