Under Rahm Emanuel and Lori Lightfoot, SEIU and CTU were tied at the hip. Together, they helped elect Brandon Johnson. Now, after years of feeling burned by the mayor, SEIU is breaking with CTU and lining up against Johnson.

Go Ted!!

lol, roughly. If I actually made it literally proportional it would be ridiculous

Poll details: NORC surveyed 1,194 Chicago adults from June 15–23. Overall margin of error: ±4.05 points.

His dad was a huge liability in 2020. Kim Foxx ran commercials against him accusing Bill of being apart of the US war machine. But with 15 candidates for mayor (and not a Democratic primary), money from his dad would be a net benefit.

Let me know if I missed any public aldermanic endorsements. Mendoza had Tabares and Lopez at her announcement. Quigley had Lawson at his announcement.

Other notable donations from Giannoulias' haul: • Jeff Aronin, Paragon Biosciences founder/CEO: $100K • Jonathan Levin, GCM Grosvenor president: $100K • Michael Polsky, Invenergy founder: $50K • Greg Carlin, Rush Street Gaming co-founder: $50K • Teamsters locals: $135K

The potential Bears stadium and related facilities would be exempt from property taxes. Interest on bonds issued under the Act would be exempt from Illinois income tax. The municipality could also pursue STAR Bond districts near the stadium.

Before any construction begins, the Stadium Authority must enter into a Project Labor Agreement and set a goal of awarding 20% of contracts to minority-owned businesses. It must also maintain labor peace agreements with relevant unions.

Revenue from non-sports events like concerts would be determined by the terms of that lease between the sports team and the stadium authority.

The main financing tool for the Stadium Authority is revenue bonds. Before issuing any bonds, the Authority must secure a 35-year lease with a professional sports team approved by the city council. The bonds would be repaid only from stadium revenues.

The Stadium Authority would be governed by a mayor-appointed board subject to FOIA and the Open Meetings Act. It must post quarterly financial reports and annual audits online and submit annual reports to the city and Auditor General.

To qualify, a municipality must be home-rule, have a population of at least 70,000, and be entirely located in Cook County. This would include Chicago, Cicero, Evanston, Schaumburg, and Arlington Heights.
