Quotes

Officials only, in order.

…is there anything in particular that you’re most excited about to bring to this position?Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth · Ward 4824:52
I guess first off to you, Chairman, were everyone invited to come be here, especially the reappointed members?Raymond Lopez · Ward 1527:48
Because I’d love to see what the impact of all of these abatements are, uh, when it comes towards the revenue not being collected because of these abatements.Raymond Lopez · Ward 1556:58
Hey, thank you so much, Chair. I, I will say I love the project. I love the continuing evolution of the Kinzie Industrial Corridor, the kinds of businesses that continue to open, expand, create jobs there. My, my only question was, why fund this work through a Class 6B rather than the Kinzie Industrial Corridor TIF?Daniel La Spata · Ward 158:32

How we count

Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
