Quotes

Officials only, in order.

Do you know how many police officers have been shot in the last 2 years in the city of Chicago?Brendan Reilly · Ward 4233:24
I know what the settlement is. My question is, what have similar cases yielded in the past?Jason C. Ervin · Ward 2836:58
…if you’re trying to have individuals who are advising and making decisions, should we have people who are having business with this body on this, on these boards, um, as opposed to individuals who are without conflict?Raymond Lopez · Ward 151:41:28
If there’s a conflict in something that we have to vote on, we, you know, we abstain from it. Is that same parliamentary procedure going on in these meetings?William E. Hall · Ward 61:51:10
…all these projects, they’ve all been gone through this committee for TIF allocation, is that right?William Conway · Vice chair · Ward 342:07:42
I assume this $25 million is part of that $50 million. Similarly, with the $5 million for the 78 is part of the $424 million. I assume that’s the case with all the other. Projects that they have been approved in prior TIF asks, and these aren’t new TIF asks going through this.William Conway · Vice chair · Ward 342:22:39

For example, the Hall Library, because it is a public facility, was basically a discussion between 2FM, PBC, and my office about the need to do that library. And TIF funds are being authorized from that TIF to fix that library.Pat Dowell · Chair · Ward 32:23:42

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
