gathering today at City Hall where the first order of business was to pay tribute to the Reverend Jesse Jackson senior who died Tuesday morning.

Mayor Brandon Johnson.

Remember, Jackson is not just a civil rights icon who worked alongside Reverend Martin Luther King Junior, but also as a friend and a fighter for Chicago areas.

>> Together, Dr.

Tina, Reverend Jackson made Chicago a battleground.

For fair housing.

Equity and economic Justice.

It spread a message of empowerment, equality and justice worldwide.

>> Our Heather Sharon joins us now from City Hall with more on today's council meeting.

So Heather, you know, after that moment of silence, the city council did get down to work and we usually rely on you to tell us what happened at City Council.

But this time we need to tell you, tell us what did not happen and why starting with that effort to override mayor's veto of a measure that would have banned the sale of hemp products are the most intoxicating hemp products throughout the city.

What happened there?

>> Well, the mayor said he would veto this measure last week and I spoke with the measure's author, older aldermen, Marty Quinn, who said he simply did not have the votes to override the mayor's decision.

But Alderman Anthony Beale tried anyway and only 26 alderman join him.

He needed 34 so for now, there are no restrictions on most intoxicating hemp products in Chicago.

But this is an issue we're going to be hearing more about in the coming months.

>> How did the city council's also Scott scheduled to vote on a measure that would have given Chicago's police misconduct agency the power to investigate whether or not CPD officers and leaders have violated city law by helping federal immigration agents.

But that was blocked.

Why?

>> It was for conservative.

Older people used a parliamentary procedure to prevent a vote on the measure today, even though it has the support of Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling really sprung out of the aggressive immigration raids.

We saw sweep the city this fall and concerns that Chicago police officers were violating a city ordinance that prevents them from helping federal agents carry out civil immigration law like the debate over hemp.

This issue will be back at the city Council, perhaps as sooner than next month.

But certainly in the March meeting as all eyes continue to watch for a return of those rates to Chicago.

>> So city council also rejected a plan to crack down on scofflaws who park in bicycle lanes, bus lanes and crosswalks.

Why?

>> Well, this measure would have allowed anyone to snap a photo of those offending vehicles parked bike and bike lanes and bus lanes and send that to the city for a fine to be issued.

only 16 Alder people voted for that measure amid concerns that it would turn all Chicagoans into parking meter agents and could lead to violence as people objected to sort of being caught in the act.

>> And briefly, Heather, before we let you go, another expensive day for police misconduct.

Settlements.

>> In all, 29.2 million dollars will go to 4 men who spent 71 years in prison after being convicted of crimes.

They did not convict.

They did not commit on the word of the disgraced Chicago police detective in all lawsuits, naming him have cost the city 159 million dollars to date with 38.

More lawsuits pending.
