>>> AS WE HEARD EARLIER, TEMPERS AND EMOTIONS FLARED AT TODAY'S CITY COUNCIL MEETING WITH PUBLIC COMMENTS.

TO BREAK IT DOWN HERE IS OUR SPOTLIGHT POLITICS TEAM.

JOINING US IS THE FULL CREW, AMANDA VINICKY A, PARIS SCHUTZ AND HEATHER SHARON.

TAKE A LOOK AGAIN AT THAT TENSE, EMOTIONAL SCENE.

>> THAT'S OUR BUILDING IN SOUTH SHORE.

IT WAS PROMISED TO US IN 2014.

DON'T MAKE US COME FOR IT, MAYOR JOHNSON.

DO THE RIGHT THING.

>> WHERE THE DID $112 MILLION COME FROM?

SHOW ME THE MONEY.

>> I'M CONFLICTED BECAUSE IN MY HEART I KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT.

I KNOW IT'S RIGHT TO WANT TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE AS BLACK PEOPLE, THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

BUT WHERE THE ARE Y'ALL GOING TO HELP US?

>> TENSE AND EMOTIONAL, LIKE WE SAID.

HEATHER, IN THE END IT WAS WAS SO FRAUGHT.

>> DO WE KNOW A SPECIFIC OR SPECIFIED WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING TO BE SPENT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS?

>> I UNDERSTAND IT'S A STOPGAP .

IT'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO FUND SOME OF THESE TEMPORARY SHELTERS.

IT'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET SOME OF THESE 700 OR SO FOLKS OFF OF THE FLOORS OF POLICE STATION IT IS GOING TO GO TOWARD HEALTHCARE OR ANYTHING.

BY THE WAY, MOST DO HAVE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR, THEY DO HAVE TO HAVE CHECKOUTS.

THAT'S BEEN PAID FOR THAN THESE ASYLUM-SEEKERS WHO DON'T GET QUALIFY FOR THAT.

YOU HAVE TO BE A RESIDENT OF THIS STATE FOR FIVE YEARS IN ORDER TO REALLY QUALIFY FOR THAT.

IT IS A TRULY SEPARATE ISSUE AS PEREZ NOTED, IT'S REALLY GOING TO PUT PRESSURE ON COOK COUNTY.

>> HEATHER, WHAT IS NEXT TO HELP THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND IS THAT A BUDGET PRIORITY?

YOU JUST HEARD OLDER WOMAN TAYLOR BRING THAT UP.

>> MAYOR JOHNSON HAS PLEDGED TO SUPPORT EFFORTS TO INCREASE REVENUE IN THE CITY AND HE DID SO AGAIN TODAY AFTER THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

AGAIN HE DOUBLED DOWN ON THE PROPOSAL KNOWN AS BRING CHICAGO HOME, RAISED THE REAL ESTATE TRANSFER TAX ON PROPERTY WORTH MORE THAN $1 MILLION, TO CREATE A DEDICATED FUNDING STREAM THAT WOULD HELP HOMELESS PEOPLE, WHETHER THEY GREW UP HERE OR WHETHER THEY ARRIVED YESTERDAY FROM TEXAS ON A PLANE OR A BUS.

SO THAT IS THE NEXT FIGHT THE REAL FIGHT WILL COME AS HE STARTS TO PUT TOGETHER HIS 2024 BUDGET.

WE WILL BE GETTING A LOOK AT WHERE THE CITY'S FINANCES CHANGE AT THE END OF JULY, PERHAPS, AND THEN HE WILL HAVE TO CRAFT A PLAN THAT HE SAYS BEGINS TO ADDRESS THE DECADES OF DISINVESTMENT AND THE DECADES OF DISPARITIES THAT LED TO SO MUCH OF THE ANGER AND FRUSTRATION WE HEARD TODAY ON THE FLOOR OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

>> HEATHER BRIEFLY, BEFORE WE LET YOU GO, MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, MOST VIOLENT IN CHICAGO SINCE 2015.

THE MAYOR RELEASING A STATEMENT ADDRESSING IT YESTERDAY.

WHAT DID HE AND THE POLICE SUPERINTENDENT HAVE TO SAY TODAY IN THEIR FIRST PRESS CONFERENCE POSTHOLIDAY?

>> MAYOR JOHNSON SAID THAT THE VIOLENCE AGAIN WAS INTOLERABLE AND THAT HE WAS COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING THOSE DISPARITIES THAT HE SAID CAUSED THAT VIOLENCE.

POVERTY, GENERATIONAL DESPAIR, AND THEN SUPERINTENDENT FRED WALLER, WHO IS THE INTERIM TOP COP, SAID THAT HE WOULD DEPLOY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN A MORE NIMBLE WAY TO ADDRESS EMERGING THREATS OR EMERGING CIRCUMSTANCES, AND HE SAID THAT WHILE SOME CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS WON'T LIKE THAT, THAT'S JUST WHAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO DO.

AWAITING TONIGHT A RESPONSE FROM THE
