Sharon joins us now with more.

Heather, why did the city council decide to take the stand?

>> Well, almost immediately after President Donald Trump took office in January, Governor JB Pritzker issued an executive order banning those who were pardoned for their role in the January 6 Capitol attack from state employment.

But Mayor Brandon Johnson did not follow suit, prompting the city Council to step in and that culminated with today's vote.

And Heather, who were the 3 city council members who voted against the ban.

>> Well, the older people were all representatives of the far northwest side Alderman Anthony Napolitano Alderman Jim Gardner.

And aldermen Nicholas Basado who spoke at length about frustration with with this ordinance saying that it was inappropriate to, quote, ruin the lives of the people who merely entered the Capitol without permission.

Of course, 5 police officers died as a result of the Capitol attack and more than 137 were injured.

>> Heather, you also reported earlier this week that the city council was set to exhaust its annual 82 million dollar budget to resolve law lawsuits that allege police misconduct.

Where does that stand?

>> It is official less than 4 months into the year that entire 82 million dollar annual budget has been exhausted with the approval of a 32 million dollar settlement for St. Louis man who lost both of his legs as a result of being struck by a driver who was fleeing Chicago police who should not have been chasing that car under departmental policy.

Now Al Durham and Gilbert Villegas was poised to use parliamentary procedure to force public hearings on a new strategy to address the hundreds of lawsuits facing the city alleging police misconduct.

He dropped to that to demand today after reaching an agreement with the Johnson Administration for private briefings he said he will press them to develop a new strategy and, quote, be more honest with the city council about the cost of these lawsuits to came at City Hall for us.

Thank you.
