Instead of fusing all their ideas together, proponents of two competing proposals to enact civilian oversight of the Chicago Police Department struck a compromise last month by asking voters to chose which version they like better.

The new proposed measure, called the Empowering Communities for Public Safety Ordinance, is endorsed by advocates of the Grassroots Alliance for Police Accountability (GAPA) and Civilian Police Accountability Council (CPAC) proposals — neither of which is supported by Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
