00:02:12 >> I LAOEJ A MRAOEJ ENS TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

00:02:28 >> PLEASE REMAIN STANDING FOR THE INVOCATION BUT BEFORE PASTOR DR.
00:02:35 RICKY OL' MANNED OF THE CHURCH OF GOD SPEAKS, I WANT TO MAKE
00:02:39 REFERENCE TO THE EVENTS OF LAST NIGHT.
00:02:42 SOME OF YOU KNOW, A POLICE OFFICER AND A 15-YEAR-OLD BOY WERE SHOT.
00:02:49 AS A RESULT OF A ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY FROM THE CITY OF DISPLAINS.
00:02:56 THE PURSUIT CAME TO THE CITY OF CHICAGO.
00:02:59 I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT BOTH WITH THE OFFICER AND THE FAMILY OF
00:03:02 THE YOUNG MAN.
00:03:04 AND ALDERMAN GARDNER WAS ALSO BOTH AT THE HOSPITALS FOR THAT EVENT.
00:03:09 I WOULD ASK YOU TO KEEP BOTH THE OFFICER, THE 15-YEAR-OLD AND THE
00:03:15 RESPECTIVE FAMILIESED IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
00:03:19 IT'S A DEVASTATING THING WHEN WE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN.
00:03:22 WE CANNOT TREAT IT AS JUST, BUSINESS AS USUAL BECAUSE IT'S NOT.
00:03:27 SXL PARTICULARLY FOR THE YOUNG MAN AND THE OFFICER, THEIR LIVES WILL
00:03:31 FOREVER BE MARKED BY THE EVENTS OF LAST NIGHT.
00:03:35 SO PASTOR?
00:03:39 >> LET US PRAY.
00:03:44 FATHER IN THIS SEASON OF THANKSGIVING, WE COME BEFORE YOU WITH AN
00:03:51 ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE.
00:03:53 THANKING YOU FOR YOUR GOODNESS IN OUR LIVES AND YOUR GRACE OVER OUR
00:03:56 CITY.
00:03:58 FATHER WE PRAY FOR OUR MAYOR THAT YOU GRANT HER YOUR WISDOM AND
00:04:05 UNDERSTANDING AS SHE PROVIDES LEADERSHIP FOR OUR CITIZENS.
00:04:10 WE PRAY FOR THE 50 ALDERMANER PERSONS THAT YOU WOULD GIVE THEM YOUR
00:04:17 COMPASSION, YOUR COURAGE, AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO STAND ON THE BEHALF
00:04:21 OF THEIR WARDS.
00:04:23 AND THEN REPRAY FOR THIS COUNCIL, THAT YOU GRANT THEM A SPIRIT OF
00:04:30 COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION SO THAT THEY CAN SERVE AS CATALYST FOR
00:04:35 THE GROWTH AND THE PROGRESS OF EVERY CITIZEN IN EVERY COMMUNITY.
00:04:41 IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY.
00:04:43 AMEN.
00:05:23 >> WE WILL NOW COMMENCE THE PERIOD OF PUBLIC COMMENT.
00:05:26 >> THE COUNCIL WILL NOW BEGIN THE COUNCIL PERIOD WHICH IS LIMIT TODAY
00:05:29 30 MINUTES.
00:05:31 EACH SPEAKER IS LIMIT TODAY 3 MINUTES.
00:05:33 THE TIME IS SHOWN ON THE CLOCK ON THE WALL.
00:05:38 TIME IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANOTHER SPEAKER.
00:05:41 ANY WRITTEN COMMENTS THAT WILL BE REVIEWED.
00:05:45 PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A FORUM FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS AND NOT SPEAKERS.
00:05:52 THE FIRST IS MR. PAT MURRAY.
00:05:57 >> GOOD MORNING, I CAME DOWN HERE TO ADDRESS THE BOBBY REAL MONTH
00:06:03 DECISION BY THE POLICE WARD.
00:06:06 6-8 NOTHING DECISION.
00:06:11 THIS DECISION COMES AND GOGHS AGAINST THE FORCE OF USE POLICY THAT
00:06:16 CIVIL VOTED AND ACTUALLY THE SUPERINTENDENT ALSO DEEMED THIS SHOOTING
00:06:20 JUSTIFIED.
00:06:23 COPA WENT OUT AND THEY GOT AN OUTSIDE AN OUTSIDE TO INVESTIGATE THIS
00:06:29 AND THEY ALSO CAME BACK AND SAID THAT THIS SHOOTING WAS JUSTIFIED.
00:06:33 NO IT'S FOUR IN THE MORNING, IT'S CHRISTMAS NIGHT.
00:06:37 POLICE OFFICERS RESPOND TO A CALL OF ASSAILANT WITH A BASEBALL BAT.
00:06:52 AND TOOK SERVE TIME IN THE MILITARY, ALDERMAN SPOSADO WAS THERE AT
00:06:59 THE RECOMMENDATION BIT BOARD.
00:07:05 EVA DELGADO, WHERE PEOPLE'S GAS COULD HAVE DECIDED NOT TO GO WITH
00:07:07 THIS.
00:07:09 THIS CASE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GONE FORWARD.
00:07:12 A CIVIL JURY DECIDED THAT HE WAS NOT GUILTY, OKAY.
00:07:16 THE BIGGEST PROBLEM HERE IS WE HAVE TO FIND OUT WHEN CAN WE DEFEND
00:07:19 OURSELVES.
00:07:20 RIGHT NOW, THERE IS ONLY THREE OPTIONS.
00:07:23 NUMBER ONE, HE COULD HAVE GOT THE BAT AND NUMBER 2, HE COULD HAVE GOT
00:07:29 THE BAT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.
00:07:32 NUMBER 3, HE GOES OUT TO THE POLICE COURT AND ALSO GETS A BAT IN THE
00:07:37 HEAD.
00:07:39 THE POLICE ARE NOT MAKING GOOD DECISIONS.
00:07:41 THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO MAKE DECISIONS ON WHAT POLICE
00:07:46 OFFICERS DO ON A REGULAR BASIS.
00:07:48 CROWNER VERSUS WILLIAMS STATES THAT A POLICE OFFICER WHO IS
00:07:54 REASONABLY ON THE SCENE, WHAT DECISION WOULD HE MAKE AT THAT TIME?
00:07:58 POLICE DEPARTMENT, THIS HAS BEEN MADE, POLICE OFFICERS ACROSS THE
00:08:02 CITY ASK ME NOW WHAT?
00:08:04 WHAT DO I DO NOW?
00:08:08 BECAUSE ACTUALLY IT PARALYZING THE POLICE OFFICER FROM MAKING ANY
00:08:11 DECISION AT ALL.
00:08:18 WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS NOT RIGHT AT ALL.
00:08:23 A PERSON IS ENTITLED TO DEFEND THEMSELVES WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
00:08:28 A BAD DECISION, WE NEED TO DID I SOFT THIS POLICE FORCE BECAUSE THEY
00:08:33 HAVE OUT LIVED THEIR USEFULNESS.
00:08:38 THEY ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO MAKE DECISIONS.
00:08:41 AND THAT'S BASICALLY IT.
00:08:42 THANK YOU.
00:08:43 THANK YOU.
00:08:46 THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MR. NELSON.
00:08:56 >> MY DEAR PRESIDENT, IN THE EARLIEST CONFERENCE, AMENDING ILLINOIS
00:09:05 CITIES AND VILLAGE ACT OF 72 STIPULATING THAT UPON PASSAGE ALL FUTURE
00:09:11 CHICAGO MUNICIPAL PRIMARY ELECTIONS SHOULD BE HELD ON THE MIDTERM OF
00:09:15 THE GENERAL ELECTION WITH ITS SUBSEQUENT RUN OFF HELD ON THE FIRST
00:09:20 MONDAY IN MARCH, BOTH WITH EARLY VOTING AND THE MAYORAL
00:09:32 INAUGURALATION SET IN LATE APRIL.
00:09:34 THIS WAY WE GET A HIGHER VOTER TURN OUT AND PRECLUDE LOSING NOVEMBER
00:09:43 MIDTERM CANDIDATES FROM RUNNING FOR MAYOR IN FEBRUARY.
00:09:49 CAN COMMENTED WITH THIS, CANDIDATES FOR CHICAGO POLICE SUPERINTENDENT
00:09:54 AND CHICAGO SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT, SHALL GO THROUGH A PROCESS OF
00:10:00 GETTING THEIR NAMES ON THAT NOVEMBER MIDTERM CHICAGO MUNICIPAL
00:10:07 ELECTION BALLOT WITH THE THREE TOP CANDIDATES GETTING THEIR NAMES ON
00:10:14 THE MARCH 9th BALLOT.
00:10:17 IF NONE GETS 50% PLUS 1 WHOEVER IS ELECTED MAYOR SHALL CHOOSE FROM
00:10:23 THE TOP THREE WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED BY CHICAGO VOTERS.
00:10:30 THIS WILL ALLOW FOR VOTING--FOR VETTING AND REQUIRE PERSPECTIVE CPD
00:10:41 SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD PRECEDENCE TO ANSWER TO THE PEOPLE.
00:10:52 BEFORE THEY GET ELECTED AND/OR APPOINTED.
00:10:55 I HOPE WE GET THIS DONE IN TIME FOR AN EARLY NOVEMBER 2022 CHICAGO
00:11:02 MUNICIPAL PRIMARY ELECTION DATE FOLLOWED BY AN EARLY MARCH 2023 RUN
00:11:09 OFF AND LATE APRIL APRIL 2023 CITY INAUGURAL.
00:11:14 ANY THOUGHTS ON THE ETHICACY OF THIS?
00:11:17 BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOST CANDIDATES.
00:11:19 >> PLEASE REMEMBER MR. NELSON THIS IS NOT A FORUM FOR QUESTIONS.
00:11:24 >> WELL IT'S JUST A PRACTICAL THING.
00:11:29 >> MR. NELSON.
00:11:30 >> YES.
00:11:32 >> PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR COMMENTS.
00:11:34 >> IT'S A PRACTICAL THING TO HAVE A HIGHER TURN OUT ALONG WITH ALL
00:11:42 THE NOVEMBER MIDTERM ELECTION CANDIDATES.
00:11:45 AND THERE BY HAVE FEWER MAYORAL CANDIDATES RUNNING.
00:11:50 AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I'M SURE THAT THE PEOPLE OF CHUCK CHICK WOULD
00:11:54 WANT BECAUSE WE'VE HAD TOO MANY ELECTIONS.
00:11:57 >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS MR. NELSON, YOUR TIME HAS EXPIRED.
00:12:03 THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MR. RONALD JACKSON.
00:12:06 SORRY CORRECTION, THE NEXT SPEAK CER MR. JOHN CATENZARA.
00:12:21 >> SO I'VE BEEN COMING HERE FOR OVER A YEAR.
00:12:26 AND SOME OF YOU MAY NOT LIKE MY STYLE.
00:12:31 BUT I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY STYLE.
00:12:34 ONLY ONE TIME IN LAST JULY AND AUGUST WHEN I BROUGHT ABOUT THE
00:12:40 IMPROPER POLICE RESIDENT DID ANYBODY MAKE A PHONE CALL TO HAVE THAT
00:12:45 FINALLY CEASED FOR YEARS BUT NOBODY FOLLOWED UP TO GET THE MONEY
00:12:50 RECOOPED FROM THE ARCH DIOCESE.
00:12:55 BUT EVERYTHING SINCE THEN WHAT I'VE SAID IN THE MICROPHONE HAS BEEN
00:13:00 IGNORED.
00:13:02 AS I SAID, YOU MAY NOT LIKE MY STYLE.
00:13:05 MAYBE YOU THINK I'M A LUNATIC.
00:13:18 I'VE BEEN SENT TO POLICE TO SHUT ME UP AND GET ME TO STOP DOING WHAT
00:13:23 I'M DOING, SPEAK OUT.
00:13:26 OBVIOUSLY, I'M STILL HERE.
00:13:27 I BEAT ALL THREE AT THE POLICE BOARD CASES.
00:13:32 SUSPENSIONS, YET AGAIN I'M TOLD THAT THERE IS ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO FIRE
00:13:37 ME, BECAUSE I DARE CALL OUT THE SUPERINTENDENT AND COMMANDER PONDCORE
00:13:45 FOR HIS MARCH ON HIS WAY.
00:13:47 THAT I BROUGHT TO THIS CHAMBER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND NOT A
00:13:52 SINGLE MEMBER HAS PUSHED THE ISSUE.
00:13:54 WHAT POINT IS HAVING A PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION IF ALL YOU'RE GOING TO
00:13:58 DO IS SIT THERE AND LIS ENS AT THE MICROPHONE SPEAK AND NOT TAKE ANY
00:14:03 ACTION OR INVESTIGATION ON WHAT IS BEING PRESENTED.
00:14:06 YOUR JOB IS TO ACTUALLY DO THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE BRINGING TO
00:14:09 YOUR ATTENTION.
00:14:10 BUT IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AND IT CONTINUES TO NOT HAPPEN.
00:14:16 AGAIN, IT'S WONDERFUL THAT THE MAYOR SPEAKS TO HIGHLY AND CONCERNED
00:14:19 ABOUT THE POLICE OFFICER THAT WAS TRAGICALLY SHOT LAST NIGHT.
00:14:24 BUT HER ACTIONS DON'T MEET HER WORDS.
00:14:27 WE WERE NOTIFIED YESTERDAY AT THE FOP MEETING THAT THE CITY AND FOP
00:14:32 HAVE NOT REACHED AGREEMENT ON ONE SINGLE ARTICLE OF AGREEMENT.
00:14:37 SXL WE'VE BEEN WITHOUT A CONTRACT FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS.
00:14:42 BUT SHE JUMPED OVER EVERY LOOP WITH THE PROMISE THAT WE WERE NEXT.
00:14:47 EVEN THOUGH THEIR CONTRACT WAS NOT EXPIRED AND OURS WAS.
00:14:53 IT'S TWO AND A HALF YEARS WITHOUT A SINGLE AGREEMENT.
00:14:55 BUT SHE IS GOING TO SIT THERE AND SAY HOW MUCH SHE PRAOESHLZ THE
00:15:00 POLICE, START PUTTING YOUR WORDS INTO ACTION AND PROOF IT.
00:15:03 AND LASTLY I'LL JUST SAY THIS, ABSTEIN DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE.
00:15:10 >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MR. RONALD JACKSON.
00:15:25 >> GOOD MORNING CITY COUNCIL.
00:15:33 TWO DAYS AGO, CYANIDE HEALTHCARE SHOWED A DOCUMENTARY CALLED CHICAGO
00:15:35 AT THE CROSSROADS.
00:15:38 A DEPICTION OF CHICAGO OVER 50 YEARS AGO.
00:15:41 50 YEARS WHERE THE CITY OF CHICAGO STARTED OUT WITH SOCIAL SERVICES,
00:15:46 50 YEARS LATER.
00:15:51 THE CITY OF CHICAGO, THOSE SOCIAL SERVICES HAVE ALL BUT VANISHED.
00:15:57 BUT GREAT MANY LIKE ALDERMAN BURKE AND A FEW OTHERS HAVE STILL
00:16:03 MAINTAINED THE REPRESENTATION FOR THOSE THAT THEY CALL CONSTITUENTS.
00:16:10 WE REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT MENTAL HEALTH IS.
00:16:14 BUT I FIND IT INSULTING WHEN THE CITY OF CHICAGO CANNOT COME UP WITH
00:16:20 AN INSURANCE COMPANY THAT WILL GIVE POLICE INSURANCE, LIABILITY
00:16:26 INSURANCE.
00:16:29 I FIND IT INSULTING WHEN THE MAYOR RUNS AROUND IN THE BLACK
00:16:34 COMMUNITIES AND TALKS ABOUT RIDE SHARE WHEN SHE WON'T WALK RIGHT DOWN
00:16:39 THE STREET TO LASALLE AND JACKSON AND FINANCE PLACE AND ASK THE STOCK
00:16:45 BROKERS TO JUST PUT A NICKEL ON EVERY TRANSACTION FOR THE NEXT YEAR
00:16:54 AND A PENNY PER TRANSACTION FOR THE NEXT 99 YEARS.
00:16:59 BUT WE CAN TALK ABOUT MARKING METERS FOR 99.
00:17:03 WE CAN TALK ABOUT OUTSOURCING THE SKY WAY.
00:17:06 THESE ARE THINGS BEFORE SHE CAME ON BOARD.
00:17:09 BUT THE THINGS THAT ARE BEING ESTABLISHED NOW.
00:17:12 YOU'RE ASKING IN APRIL FOR PEOPLE TO BE COUNTED.
00:17:16 HOW CAN YOU BE COUNTED IF YOU'RE NOT REPRESENTED?
00:17:20 IF 50 PEOPLE IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT ARE BASICALLY SAYING, THAT THOSE
00:17:25 LIVES OF THE HOMELESS, THOSE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE, THAT ARE
00:17:33 INSTITUTIONALIZED, IN EITHER NURSING HOMES OR WHATEVER, THOSE LIVES
00:17:35 ARE NOT THERE.
00:17:44 WE'RE NOT GETTING THAT REPRESENTATION.
00:17:47 WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES FOR MENTAL SERVICES.
00:17:57 ESTABLISH AND TASK FORCED TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE CAN SURE UP MENTAL
00:18:01 HEALTH SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
00:18:06 THAT HAS NOT TRANSPIRED.
00:18:08 I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOURS ASKING FOR IN APRIL AND I DON'T THINK
00:18:12 PEOPLE SHOULD STAND UP FOR REPRESENTATION THAT THEY'RE NOT RECEIVING.
00:18:15 I WOULD SAY NO TO CHICAGO ADDING ANYMORE REPRESENTATION UNTIL THE
00:18:22 PEOPLE ARE PROPERLY REPRESENTED, ESPECIALLY AS FAR AS MENTAL
00:18:27 HEALTHCARE, HOMELESSNESS.
00:18:29 >> THANK YOU MR. JACKSON.
00:18:30 THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MR. MIKE UNDERWOOD.
00:18:45 >> GOOD MORNING, MADAM MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
00:18:53 I'M MICHAEL UNDERWOOD ON I'M A REPRESENTATIVE I'M HERE TO SPEAK OF
00:18:58 THE TWO AND A HALF YEARS THAT THE POLICE HAVE WORKED WITHOUT A
00:19:00 CONTRACT.
00:19:01 I REALIZE MUCH OF THE BLAME BELONGS TO THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION
00:19:06 AND YOU CAME TO THE OFFICE WITH A FULL PLACE, MADAM MAYOR.
00:19:11 IS WOULD LIKE TO URGE THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION TO BARGAIN IN GOOD
00:19:17 FAITH WITH FOP AND COME TO COME TO A REASONABLE AGREEMENT AS SOON AS
00:19:22 POSSIBLE.
00:19:23 THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
00:19:24 THANK YOU.
00:19:27 >> TUZ MR. UNDER--THANK YOU MR. UNDERWOOD.
00:19:35 THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MR. JACOB PLANK.
00:19:38 >> HOWDY, GOOD MORNING.
00:19:41 I COME AS AN AMBASSADOR AT THE MORGAN PROJECT BRINGING GLOBAL POVERTY
00:19:48 TO THE EYES OF CONGRESS.
00:19:50 I REALIZE THIS IS A CONGRESSIONAL CHAMBER AT THE SAME TIME, THE
00:19:54 DEVELOPING WORLD SHARES A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUES THAT THE CITY OF
00:19:58 CHICAGO DOES.
00:20:00 GIVE ME A SECOND ACTUALLY.
00:20:08 ESPECIALLY AS IT COMES TO JOBS.
00:20:11 AS THE ECONOMY DEVELOPSED ABROAD SO DOES IT HERE, IN 2013 THAT WAS
00:20:16 THE MOST RESENT STATISTICS, I WAS ABLE TO GET 339,000 JOBS, YEAH,
00:20:21 JOBS AND EXPORTS.
00:20:24 WE'RE COMING FROM CHICAGO, EXCUSE ME.
00:20:27 AND WITH THAT, OUR JOBS AND EXPORTS ARE BENEFITING THAT GLOBAL
00:20:36 ECONOMY.
00:20:38 HELPING IMPROVE THE ECONOMIES AND YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT, WHAT I'M
00:20:43 SAYING IS THE GLOBAL ECONOMY IS SO DEEPLY ATTACHED TO THE CHICAGO
00:20:49 ECONOMY BECAUSE OUR EXPORT HELP BRIDGE ENING ECONOMIES A BROAD.
00:20:54 RIGHT NOW ON THE TABLE IN SENATE IS THE GLOBAL FOR AGILITY ACT WHICH
00:21:01 WORKS PROACTIVELY TO END GLOBAL ISSUES THAT PROMOTE POVERTY OR
00:21:07 SITUATION OF POVERTY REALLY.
00:21:09 AND I'M ASKING THE CITY COUNCIL TO WRITE A SENATOR TO DUCKWORTH.
00:21:18 SENATOR DURBAN HAS ALREADY DONE THAT.
00:21:21 THAT'S MY COMMENT.
00:21:23 >> THANK YOU MR. LANG.
00:21:26 THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MR. SIDEMAN.
00:21:28 >> GOOD MORNING.
00:21:30 I'M COLT AND I'M A LEADER AT THE JUSTICE TEAM ON THE NORTH SIDE.
00:21:40 I STRUGGLED WITH HOMELESSNESS FOR 23 YEARS AND I'M ALSO A MEMBER WITH
00:21:48 LGBT WHICH HAS EFFECTED MY HOUSING.
00:21:51 CHICAGO DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH HOUSE TO GO HOUSE US ALL.
00:21:59 THOUSANDS I'M A QUEER PERSON LIVING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS AND BEING
00:22:06 HOMELESS IS HARD.
00:22:08 IT'S REALLY HARD TO FOCUS ON MY TREATMENT BEING IN A SHELTER BECAUSE
00:22:13 SOME MEDICATION COMES IN NEEDLE FORM AND IT'S HARD TO FIND A SAFE
00:22:16 PLACE TO TAKE IT.
00:22:18 THERE IS FEW PLACES IN CHICAGO WITH TRANSIENT CARE.
00:22:24 MY MENTAL ILLNESS HAS GOTTEN WORSE WHEN I KNOW I DON'T HAVE STABLE
00:22:27 HOUSING.
00:22:29 AS OF YESTERDAY, I WAS EXPERIENCING HOMELESS BUT I JUST FOUND OUT
00:22:34 THAT I WAS PLACED IN A SRO.
00:22:39 THE SROs IN CHICAGO ARE LIMITED.
00:22:43 THERE ARE NO AVAILABILITY IN NORTH SIDE SROs MANY HAVE BEEN CONVERTED
00:22:49 TO HOUSING LEAVING LESS AND LESS OPTIONS FOR LOW INCOME.
00:22:56 THE GENTRIFICATION IS VIOLENCE.
00:22:59 HOUSING SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON LOOK.
00:23:01 EVERYONE IN CHICAGO DESERVES TO HAVE A SAFE AND STABLE HOME.
00:23:04 MAYOR SAYS SHE CARES ABOUT YOUTH AND LGBT HOMELESSNESS BUT ONLY GIVEN
00:23:11 A MILLION DOLLARS TO HOUSING.
00:23:12 THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.
00:23:16 OUR CITY NEEDS MORE.
00:23:18 I CALL ON ALDERMAN PEOPLE TO VOTE NO ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET.
00:23:23 CHICAGO NEEDS REAL INVESTMENT NL THE CRIME THAT WE SEE IN THIS BUDGET.
00:23:27 WE NEED BREAD NOT CRUMBS.
00:23:28 THANK YOU.
00:23:29 >> THANK YOU MR. SIMON.
00:23:30 THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MR. RICARDO FLORES.
00:23:36 >> GOOD MORNING.
00:23:39 I'M HERE TALKING ABOUT CITY SPACE AND THE LACK OF LATINOS IN THE FILM
00:23:45 INDUSTRY AND THE STUDIOS.
00:23:49 THEY ALWAYS REQUEST 30% TAX BREAK BUT THE 30% IS GETTING IGNORED.
00:23:55 AND WHAT I'M OPPOSING THE PARKING LOT THEY'RE DOING ON 31, IF THEY'RE
00:23:59 NOT GOING TO INCLUDE THE COMMUNITY WHY SHOULD WE STAND FOR THEIR
00:24:04 DEMANDS.
00:24:05 THEY WANT WANT WANT WANT, THEY WANT TOO.
00:24:07 WE WANT TO BE PART OF THEM.
00:24:10 AND I THINK THEY SHOULD BRING BACK THAT ORDINANCE, WITH ALDERMAN WHO
00:24:18 BUILDS IN THEIR COMMUNITY WHERE THEY SIGN THE PERMITS AND THEY'RE
00:24:21 BYPASSING THAT AND EVERYBODY HAS SEEN THAT IN ALDERMAN ARE GETTING
00:24:24 IGNORED.
00:24:25 THE SAME WAY THAT THE DEVELOPER FROM NEW YORK IS COMING AND BYPASSING
00:24:29 THEM.
00:24:31 I SEE, THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE SAY ON WHO FILMS IN NR COMMUNITY
00:24:35 AND WHO GETS HIRED IN THE COMMUNITY.
00:24:38 IF THEY'RE COMING TO FILM IN LITTLE VILLAGE OR LOGAN SCARE AND THE
00:24:43 COMMUNITY THAT THEY COME TO FILM, HOME APART, THEY SHOULD HAVE MORE
00:24:48 PEOPLE IN THAT COMMUNITY WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY.
00:24:50 THERE IS A LOT OF ACTORS AND TALENT HERE.
00:24:54 THEY SAY THEY HAVE 60,000 LOCAL JOBS.
00:24:56 MOST OF THE JOBS ARE NOT LOCAL.
00:24:58 SOME PEOPLE COME FROM L.A. AND SOME COME FROM NEW YORK.
00:25:01 THEY BROUGHT THEM FROM L.A.
00:25:02 JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN ADDRESS HERE IN CHICAGO, DOES NOT MAKE THEM
00:25:07 LOCAL AND THEY'RE PLAYING THE CITY SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO DO THIS

00:25:41 YAFT GENTRIFICATION.
00:25:43 IF YOU KNOW IN L.A., THEY HAVE ALL THE STUDIOS, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE

00:25:57 THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:25:59 IF THEY HAVE SIGNED PERMITS WHO FILMS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD INSTEAD OF

00:26:29 >> GOOD MORNING CITY COUNCIL.
00:26:36 FOR MADAM MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.
00:26:40 IT'S WITH ABSTINENCE THAT I STAND HERE.
00:26:42 YOU SEE MADAM MAYOR, I DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD DELIVER IN YOUR PROMISE
00:26:47 GIVING THE PLAYING FIELD IN WAY YOU ENGAGE.
00:26:53 I DARED TO HOPE I WAS WRONG BUT WHEN YOU STAKE STOCK OF WHAT HAS
00:26:58 HAPPENED THE LAST SIX MONTHS, YOUR EFFORTS AS A CHANGE AGENT NEEDS
00:27:01 WORK.
00:27:02 A POLICE SUPERINTENDENT WHO HAS A RECORD OF RUNNING AN ABUSIVE AND
00:27:08 DIVISIVE POLICE FORCE HAS CHOSEN TO LEAD A DEPARTMENT THAT THE
00:27:12 JUSTICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED TO BE ABUSIVE AND IN NEED OF REFORM.
00:27:16 THIS IS NOT MORE OF THE SAME.
00:27:20 YOU ANNOUNCED IN THE END, YOU ANNOUNCED AN END TO ALDERMANIC
00:27:28 PRIVILEGE, LETTERS OF DENIAL HAVE TO GO THROUGH A MUNICIPAL
00:27:33 BUREAUCRAT WHO IS BE HOLDING TO YOU, MADAM MAYOR.
00:27:37 MACHINE TRICKS BY ANY OTHER NAME.
00:27:41 THE CITIZENS OF CHICAGO ARE BEING ILLEGALLY TAXED THROUGH BOGUS
00:27:48 TRAFFIC CAMERAS AND TOW COMPANY TICKETS.
00:27:52 TICKETS ISSUED FOR VEHICLES DRIVING IN THE YELLOW THAT CHANGE TO RED
00:27:55 WHILE THE CARS ARE STILL IN MOTION.
00:28:00 THERE IS A MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE THAT SAID THIS SHOULD NOT AND STILL IT
00:28:04 OCCURS.
00:28:08 CITIZENS REPUBLIC PREYED ON WHO FLAUNT MUNICIPAL LAWS.
00:28:12 CITIZENS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE ALLOWED TO MOVE THEIR VEHICLES IF THEY
00:28:16 ARRIVE TO THEIR VEHICLES BEFORE A TOW TRUCK ARRIVE, YET THEY'RE NOT
00:28:21 ALLOWED TO DO THIS BECAUSE TOW COMPANIES ARE ALLOWED TO BOOT THE CARS.
00:28:26 I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE AT A CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND THIS STILL
00:28:29 OCCURS.
00:28:36 IN REGARDS TO THE CANNABIS LOTTERY I EXPRESSED CONCERN.

00:28:47 WHY HAVE AN EQUITY OFFICER.
00:28:51 PEOPLE WONDER, WHY BLACK PEOPLE THAT ARE BORN HERE IN THIS COUNTRY
00:28:57 ARE ASKING FOR REPOURATION.
00:29:01 CHICAGO HAS BECOME A ANARCHY CITY WHEN IF DECLARES ITSELF A SANCTUARY
00:29:08 CITY, YET THE CHICAGO AUTHORITY STANDS ON FEDERAL LAWS WHEN IT SAYS
00:29:13 NO SMOKING OF POT ON CHA PROPERTY.

00:31:11 LIGHTFOOT HAS DONE HER DUE DILIGENCE REGARDING MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS.
00:31:16 I FEEL SHE DOES NOT TALK TO THE PEOPLE.

00:31:26 COULD INVEST IN PUBLIC SERVICES.
00:31:27 THIS MONEY SHOULD NOT GO OUT OF THE CITY.
00:31:32 IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE CITY.
