New Committee on Litigation and Risk Management, downtown dispensary push among new ordinances introduced to City Council 

Leaders of the Chicago Aldermanic Black Caucus proposed creating a new committee to focus on litigation and risk management to rein in police abuses, and a downtown alderman rolled out a push to allow marijuana dispensaries to operate downtown among dozens of new measures introduced to the City Council this week. 

Other proposals introduced Wednesday also seek to create a “Clean Water For All program” and clarify functions of the Chicago Board of Health.
