Ald. Scott Waguespack (32) wrote in his latest newsletter about the "Chi Biz Strong" package's proposed public way permit approval overhaul that "Alderman have abused the system in the past and held up simple licenses of restaurants in alleged extortion schemes, so businesses have a point about wanting to pass the Mayor's business reform ordinance."

Ald. Andre Vasquez (40) tweeted, "Some city council math: There are 18 white alders. 12 of them voted against renaming LSD. Only 15 Alders total voted against renaming Lake Shore Drive to Jean Baptiste DuSable Lake Shore Drive. They don’t call us one of the most segregated cities in the country for nothing."

Ald. Tom Tunney (44) wrote in a statement that his vote against renaming Lake Shore Drive "reflected the resounding feedback I received from my constituents."

Ald. Matt Martin (47) wrote in his latest newsletter that he looks "forward to working with my colleagues and other city officials to ensure Chicago is making better use of FEMA's offer to reimburse 100% of hotel-room costs through September, and to use federal ARPA funds to house domestic violence victims."
