Chicago City Council convened this week for a pretty non-controversial agenda. But what didn’t make it to the Council floor is a lot more interesting. This week, we focus on a group of Jefferson Park residents fighting back against dense development (and why), and detail some items that were either delayed, or aren’t fully fleshed out: restrictions on street performers, set-asides for veterans on city contracts, and a new municipal ID program.
