THAT OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL JOINING US, OUR JUSTIN LAWRENCE FROM CRAIN'S CHICAGO BUSINESS.

>> LAURA RODRIGUEZ, PRESS OUT FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

THAT'S THE WEINBERG FROM WBEZ AND CHRIS JONES ALSO FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT.

LET'S START WITH THE STATE'S ATTORNEY'S RACE.

CLAYTON HARRIS FOR SAYS EILEEN O'NEILL, BURKE, VERY DISTINCT AGENDAS THAT TO HAVE TEST WEINBERG WHO HAS THE EDGE HERE?

YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GOOD YOU KNOW, BURKE HAS MORE MONEY ON HAND.

MY COLLEAGUE MICHEL JUST HAD A STORY TODAY DIGGING INTO THOSE DONATIONS AND THAT, YOU KNOW, WASHES OUT FUNDRAISE.

IT'S ALSO PRIMARILY FROM, YOU KNOW, WHITE DONORS WHO ALSO GIVEN TO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES IN THE PAST AND, >> YOU KNOW, HARRIS'S REALLY TRAILING IN THAT REGARD, ALTHOUGH HE IS, YOU KNOW, THE PARTY THICKEN.

SO I THINK WANT TO SEE IF YOU KNOW IS MONEY.

THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS OR OTHER POLICY POSITIONS GOING, YOU KNOW, COME DOWN TO IT AS WELL AS THE MAYOR'S RACE DIDN'T COME DOWN TO MONEY.

VALLAS OUTRAISED BRANDON JOHNSON, BUT BRANDON JOHNSON HAD THE INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT.

SAME THING HERE.

CLAYTON HARRIS, HAS THE PARTY SUPPORT EILEEN O'NEILL, BURKE, PERHAPS GETTING SOME OF THAT MORE CONSERVATIVE MONEY.

WHAT WHAT OUTWEIGHS THE OTHER HERE?

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE NECK AND NECK.

I THINK BE THEM AS RACE CAME DOWN TO GET OUT THE VOTE.

FRANKLY, I THINK THAT MAY WELL BE A BIG ISSUE ON TUESDAY LIKE, >> YOU KNOW, HE'S GOING TO BE ENOUGH OF A TURN OUT TO REALLY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CHICAGOANS DECIDING THIS RACE.

IT IS A KIND OF REFERENDUM ON THE BRANDON JOHNSON, CHICAGO AND MANY WAYS.

IT'S NOT QUITE THE SAME THING.

BUT THIS DEFINITE SIMILARITIES THAT I THINK I KIND OF LIKE BOTH OF THEM.

I THINK THEY'RE BOTH GOOD PEOPLE.

I THINK THEY WILL BOTH BE THE SON AND NOT OFFICE, BUT THEY DO HAVE SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT AGENDAS AS WELL.

I MEAN, YOU HAVE THE EVEN THE VERY CONSERVATIVE FOP SAYING THEY BELIEVE CLAYTON HARRIS WOULD BE AN UPGRADE OVER KIM BUT THEY WANT FOLKS TO PULL A REPUBLICAN BALLOT AND VOTE DEMOCRATIC AND GO FOR EILEEN O'NEILL BURKE.

SHE'S KIND OF TAKING THE MORE LAW AND ORDER TACT.

>> CLAYTON HARRIS, PERHAPS A LITTLE MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN THAT.

WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT HER NOW JUST IS GOING TO BE REALLY LOW.

WE JUST HAD A MAYOR'S RACE.

A LOT OF FOLKS ARE LIKE ELECTION.

WHAT ELECTION?

YEAH, IT WILL BE LOW.

I MEAN, WE DON'T KNOW HOW THOSE CERTAINLY BE LOWER THAN THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS LAST YEAR.

THE MAYOR ON ELECTIONS.

I THINK WHAT I'VE BEEN STRUCK BY IS HOW LITTLE THIS RACE HAS BEEN DECIDED BEEN SPOKEN ABOUT IN TERMS OF THEIR POLICY POSITIONS.

SO MUCH HAS BEEN ABOUT THEIR PAST.

>> JOBS WHEN PERFORMANCE WHO THEY WORK FOR WHO THEY'VE TAKEN MONEY FROM.

THEY DO HAVE SLATE POLICY.

DISAGREEMENTS, ESPECIALLY ON RETAIL THEFT.

YOU KNOW, CLAYTON HARRIS SAYS I WOULD PROSECUTE COUNTY ABOVE TIMES.

THE RETIRED SAYS NO, I WOULD DO JUST ABOUT $300, WHICH IS THE CURRENT STATE LAW.

SO THAT'S KIND OF OUR BIG MAJOR POLICY DISAGREEMENT, WHICH IS IT'S NOT NOTHING, BUT IT'S IT'S IT'S NOT EXACTLY LAW AND ORDER AND THROW AWAY THE KEY.

FIRST, THIS NEW PROGRESSIVE WAVE THAT WE'VE SEEN RIGHT HERE WOULD CONTINUE.

CAN FOX'S POLICY OF ONLY CHARGING A FELONY FOR THE $1000 OR MORE RETAIL THEFT?

EILEEN O'NEILL, BURKE SAYS NOPE, $300 OR MORE IS A FELONY.

AND THAT'S A STATE LAW ALREADY GIVES PRESIDENT THINK.

>> THIS WILL COME DOWN TO ISSUES LIKE THE FOLKS ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THE SMASH-AND-GRAB ROBBERIES VERSUS FOLKS THAT WANT TO CONTINUE PERHAPS KIM FOXX APPROACH?

WELL, I THINK THAT KIM FOXX HAS BEEN CRITICIZED YOU KNOW, THE >> THOUGH THE BEAST A LITTLE SOFT ON ON AND SOME OF THE CRIMINALS.

AND I THINK THAT THAT'S LEADING PEOPLE TO MAYBE TO SOMEONE THAT'S THAT'S DIFFERENT.

THAT'S RADICALLY DIFFERENT.

I THINK YOU CAN SEE THAT IN DEFENDE.

ALL RACES HAPPENING RIGHT NOW TO PEOPLE HAVE EXTREMELY INVESTED THE MIGRANT SITUATION HERE AND CRIME HAS CERTAINLY BEEN ONE OF THOSE TOPICS.

SO THAT MAY LEAD PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY GO OUT AND VOTE.

>> THAT'S A WEINBERG.

EILEEN O'NEILL BURKE HAS MADE A BIG ISSUE OF ABORTION SAYING PRO-CHOICE, MAYBE BRINGING UP SOME OF PRO-CHOICE BONA FIDES OF THE DONORS TO REPORT A WHITE.

THIS IS THE COOK COUNTY'S TOP PROSECUTOR.

WHAT WHY WOULD ABORTION BE ISSUE IN A RACE LIKE THIS?

YEAH, I THINK CHICAGO IS ALSO REALLY BLUE STATE.

WE SAW EVEN MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT, YOU KNOW, BE PUTTING FOR PROTECTIONS FOR FOLKS IN.

>> I THINK, YOU KNOW, DEMOCRATS IN GENERAL HAVE TRIED TO PAINT, YOU KNOW, ILLINOIS, IN CHICAGO AS A HAVEN AND THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A SAFE PLACE FOR FOLKS TO COME.

SO I THINK IT MAKES SENSE, YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING TALKING I KNOW THERE'S BEEN CRITICISMS OF DONORS THAT SHE'S TAKEN MONEY FROM, THOUGH, YOU KNOW, BEING MAYBE PRESS MORE ANTI-CHOICE.

AND SO I THINK IT'S JUST ANOTHER AREA SCRUTINY THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING HAVE LOOKING VOTERS GOING TO BE EVALUATING OUR LET'S MOVE TO ANOTHER RACE, A 7TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, A LION OF THE CONGRESS HERE.

DANNY DAVIS ON THE WEST SIDE, HE KIND OF HIS OWN THAT WESTSIDE DISTRICT FOR A LONG TIME.

HE KIND OF CAME TO DEFEAT 2 YEARS AGO WITH THIS MORE PROGRESSIVE KINA COLLINS.

BUT NOW SHE'S RUNNING WITH 3 OTHER OPPONENTS.

DOES THAT KIND OF?

>> MAYBE CLEAR THE FIELD FOR HIM A LITTLE BIT.

I HAD SOMETHING TO DO LAST TIME.

WELL, YOU'VE ALSO GOT MISTAKES MADE BY SOME OF THOSE OPPONENTS, SHALL WE SAY?

NO, I THINK HE'S IN A PRETTY GOOD THAT HE'S IN A PRETTY GOOD POSITION.

HE'S HE'S EXPERIENCED GUY.

HE'S GOT.

>> HE'S GOT THE BRANDON AND OSMOND ICON.

IMAGINE THAT GOING ANY OTHER WAY.

>> YOU KNOW, WE'VE SAID THAT WE DON'T THINK COUNTIES AND THAT AS QUALIFIED.

YOU CHICAGO.

WE DON'T.

WE DON'T THINK THAT WE THOUGHT MULTIPLE ETHICS PROBLEMS.

ABSOLUTELY.

SO WHEN YOU HAVE THAT AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN OBVIOUS PROBLEM DANNY DAVIS.

BUT I THINK SHE IS IN SOME WAYS FOULED OUT OF THAT RACE.

HOW RACE SHE DOES I'M SURE SHE JUSTIN LAWRENCE, WHAT ABOUT TO BRING CHICAGO HOME?

SO THE STATE SUPREME COURT.

>> REJECTED AN APPEAL FROM THE REAL ESTATE INTERESTS TO GET IT OFF THE BALLOT THAT ONCE AGAIN, IT'S ON THE BALLOT.

WHERE DO YOU THINK VOTERS FALL ON THIS RIGHT NOW?

WHAT'S ON THE BOUT VOTES WILL BE COUNTED WHERE THEY FALL?

I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK IT WILL BE REALLY CLOSE.

I YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T SEEN RELIABLE POLLING THAT I WOULD.

>> I WOULD TRUST ON I THINK IT WILL BE REALLY NECK AND NECK.

THE WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT CONFUSION OVER THIS SCORE.

KNOW, THIS COURT BATTLE OVER THE LAST MONTH OR SO.

HOW DID THAT IMPACT VOTERS?

IT IS CERTAINLY CONFUSING FOR VOTERS.

HEY, I DIDN'T THINK I HAD TO VOTE ON THIS.

NOT ONLY DO I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME DURING THAT ENTIRE ENTIRE RUN OF COURT BATTLES, THE SUPPORTERS WERE STILL OUT THERE, KNOCKING DOORS THEY NEVER GAVE UP THEIR GROUND CAM.

I WONDER IF THAT MIGHT LEAD TO SOME KIND OF LEGAL ACTION AFTER WORD THAT SUPPORTERS YOU KNOW, >> VOTERS ARE CONFUSED.

AND SO THESE RESULTS SHOULD BE THROWN OUT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DO KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS.

SO THERE'S BEEN A LOT MORE NEWS ABOUT THE CONTROVERSY OF ADDING THE QUESTION OR NOT AND NOT TOO MUCH >> ON RIGHT AND WHAT IT ACTUALLY NEEDS.

AND SO I THINK THAT IT'S A LITTLE MAYBE TO HIT FOR THEM TO GET INTO THE DETAILS OF WHAT IT MEANS AND A LOT OF HOMEOWNERS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IT, RIGHT?

HE SAYS THEY MAY THINK THAT ALSO APPLIES TO THEM.

SO I IT'S RIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE GOING TO GO AND ON THE LEGAL CHALLENGES AND THE APPELLATE COURT WAS ROLLING, YOU KNOW, IT IS TOO EARLY FOR THE COURTS TO BE STEPPING IN ON THIS.

THIS IS JUST A STEP ONE OF MANY IN LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.

WE SHOULD NOT BE WEIGHING IN.

BUT, YOU KNOW, ELECTION ATTORNEYS SAID SAID, YOU KNOW, ONCE THIS ACTUALLY, IF THIS PASSES ENACTED, YOU KNOW, MAYBE OPPONENTS WILL ONCE AGAIN EMBARK ON THOSE LEGAL CHALLENGES.

NOW THAT, YOU KNOW, IF IT IS PAST THAT, THEN THEY CAN GO GET INTO MAYBE SOME OF THE SUBSTANTIVE ARGUMENTS AND ARGUING IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL ARE TESTED.

MAYBE YOU REMIND VOTERS NOW.

WHAT EXACTLY IT IS THEY'RE VOTING ON WITH REFERENDUM.

YES, THE REFERENDUM WOULD BASICALLY INCREASE A ONE-TIME TAX ON THE SALE, HIGH-END PROPERTIES TO FUND HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION THE PORTION OF PROPERTY VALUED WONDER 1 MILLION DOLLARS WOULD SEE A TAX CUT WHEREAS PROPERTY VALUE THE PORSCHE PROPERTY VALUE OVER A MILLION WOULD SEE A TAX INCREASE AND THAT THE HIGHEST HERE'S PORTION OF PROPERTY VALUED OVER 1.5 MILLION.

THAT'S EVEN LARGER INCREASE UP TO 3%.

>> AND ESTIMATED 100 MILLION DOLLARS IN REVENUE THAT WOULD BE GENERATED EACH YEAR THAT PROPONENTS WANT TO USE FOR HOMELESS PREVENTION.

BUT THIS, YOU KNOW, REFERENDUM IS REALLY ONLY GIVING VOTERS VOTERS WOULD BE AUTHORIZING THE CITY COUNCIL, THEN TO ENACT THIS VOTERS APPROVE THIS, IT DOESN'T MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S GUARANTEED IT HAPPENING.

WE STILL HAVE TO THEN GO BACK.

CITY COUNCIL LAST TO PASS THIS.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SO QUESTIONS.

I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, OPPONENT TO BEEN RAISING OF HOW EXACTLY ARE THESE FUNDS GOING TO BE SPENT AND THAT'S WHERE WE'LL SEE MAYBE SOME OF THOSE DETAILS LAID OUT IN A SPENDING ORDINANCE AND IN, YOU KNOW, COMMITTEE THAT BE ASSIGNED TO ACTUALLY GIVE US SUGGESTIONS.

AND THOSE QUESTIONS WERE ALSO RAISED BY THE CIVIC FEDERATION, THEIR NEW LEADER, JOE FERGUSON, WHO KNOWS A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT HOW CITY SPENDS SAYING.

>> IT'S A WE DON'T KNOW HOW THIS 100 MILLION DOLLARS GOING TO BE SPENT SO WE CAN TO DORSET AND WEIGHING IN IN A WAY THAT PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS OF THE CIVIC FEDERATION AND NOT DONE SO.

SO HE SORT OF GETTING HIS HANDS DIRTY IN A IN A IN A REFERENDUM SITUATIONS.

WE WERE STRUCK BY THAT THAT WAS SORT OF AN UNUSUAL MOVE ON HIS BODY.

IS A FAMILY TRUST A GUY.

SO THAT WAS THAT WAS SORT OF INTEREST.

AND I WOULD I WOULD ASSUME THAT THAT THAT HAS BEEN THE TRIBUNE EDITORIAL BOARD.

I MEAN, I DON'T ASSUME I'VE READ THAT THAT YOUR POSITION TO THAT WE WOULD OPPOSE IT.

YEAH, I THINK IT'S GENERALLY IT'S A CRANE'S CAME OUT TODAY WITH THE SAME PRETTY MUCH THE >> POINT OF VIEW.

AND I THINK THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS PRETTY UNIVERSALLY OPPOSED TO IT.

IT'S MOSTLY ABOUT IMPACT ON COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE ON THE, YOU KNOW, THE GENERAL STATE OF THE PROPERTY MARKET IN CHICAGO, PARTICULARLY DOWNTOWN.

ALREADY GOT ALL THESE DISTRESSED PROPERTIES.

>> SAYING REALLY THAT IT'S NOT REALLY ABOUT NOT REALLY A MANSION TAX, EVEN THOUGH IT'S BILLED THAT WAY.

IT'S IT'S GOING TO WHAT IS AFTER ALL THE COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE AND DISTRESS LANDSCAPE AT THE MOMENT WHEN IT COMES TO COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE.

BUT HERE AGAIN, I THINK'S ANOTHER REFERENDUM ON BRANDON JOHNSON, CHICAGO.

THIS IS A CORE PART OF EXISTING PLATFORM.

FASCINATING TO SEE IF THIS CERTAINLY BE A REFERENDUM.

AT LEAST TO THE EARLY PART OF HIS TENURE.

ALRIGHT, PUT EVERYBODY ON THE SPOT.

>> OTHER RACES THAT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON THAT WE'RE THAT WE'RE MISSING JUMP IN WITH I FORGET THE DISTRICT NUMBER AND THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE CROSSING MY GOOD >> NOT ONLY 21 IS TRYING TO WATCH ANYTHING ON YOU TO SCENE IS COMMERCIAL.

I DON'T LIVE IN THE DISTRICT GREAT STORY ON JUST THE FLOOD OF MAILERS PEOPLE RECEIVED THAT WAY WHY IT'S IMPORTANT IS, YOU KNOW, I THINK MOST I THINK WRESTLING GUZMAN HAS A REALLY GOOD CHANCE OF WINNING.

AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHERE THE PROGRESSIVE BASE OF CHICAGO LIVES.

STATES PRESIDENT HAS MORE PROGRESSIVE STATE SENATE PRESIDENT DON HARMON KIND OF SUDDEN JUST STUCK HIS FOOT IN THE GROUND SAID, I'M GOING TO FIND OUR INCUMBENT NOT ONLY TO OUR OWN TO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OR LEAST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.

AND SO EVEN IF EVEN IF SHE LOSES THAT, THAT MAKES A STATEMENT TO THE REST OF HIS SENATE.

HEY, I'VE GOT YOUR WE WILL BE FOR YOU IN THESE AND THESE RACES WHEN THE PROGRESSIVES COME FOR YOU.

SO A REALLY INTERESTING DYNAMIC TO SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT.

EVEN CROSS THE EVENTUALLY WENT.

IT'S VERY INTERESTING.

OTHER WE ALSO HAVE TO EAT, AND WOMEN LOCUS, WHICH I THINK IT'S A VERY INTERESTING RACE TO TO WATCH.

>> BECAUSE OF HOW HOW THINGS HAVE PLAYED OUT THE COMMUNITY WITH LATINO COMMUNITY AND JUST WHERE THEY SERVIN WHO THEY IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING.

IT'S GOING REALLY JUST IN OBVIOUSLY TAKING A MUCH MORE CONSERVATIVE TACK.

DEFINITELY A MUCH MORE CONSERVATIVE TASK.

BUT BUT I THINK IT'S IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO TO STATE ATTORNEY'S RACE WHERE PEOPLE, I THINK A LOT OF THEM A LITTLE DISSOLUTION SOME OF YOU KNOW, SOME OF >> THAT.

THEY THINK THAT HAS BEEN IN POWER FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.

SOME OF THEM MAY MAY BE LOOKING TO.

MAKES PICK PICK SOMEONE DIFFERENT AND SEE IF THAT CHANGES ANYTHING.

>> YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY HAS A VERY POWERFUL HOLDING.

THIS WOULD SUGGEST THAT HE'S IN I HOPE I DON'T COUNTING LOPEZ OUT, YOU KNOW, BUT NO, I THINK HE HE SAID, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE WRITTEN THAT STORY WHERE HE SAID HE'S DEFINITELY KEEPING AN EYE AND HE HE IS NOT IGNORING THAT.

HE'S NOT.

HE'S NOT DECLARING VICTORY JUST YET.

MAYBE YOU CAN ABOUT THAT.

AND I POINT TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, YET, YOU KNOW, 2 IS A LONGTIME PROGRESSIVE POWERHOUSE OF IN ILLINOIS POLITICS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, LOPEZ PAINTING HIMSELF, AS YOU KNOW, THIS NEW CHOICE.

HE ALSO HAS TIES TO A LONG TIME.

YOU KNOW, POLITICIAN IS ALSO, YOU KNOW, BEEN CONVICTED OF CORRUPTION WITH THAT BURGER.

YOU KNOW, HE'S HE'S WARD OFFICE AND HIS CAMPAIGN OFFICES BERKS OLD WAR OFFICE THAT WAS RAIDED BY THE FBI YEARS AGO.

AND BURKE IS STILL THE LANDLORD.

YOU LOPEZ SAYS TO THAT YOU KNOW THIS UNLESS YOU'RE PLAYING THE BUILDING IS CORRUPT.

HE DOESN'T SEE THE ISSUE AND THAT HE'S SAVING TAXPAYERS BY MOVING INTO AN OLD OFFICE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY THEY BOTH SOMETHING ARE POINTING A PARK IS GOING TO RAISE THAT RENT TO PAY OFF.

SOME OF THE I DON'T THINK WE'VE GOT PLENTY OF LOPEZ REALLY INTERESTING CAT.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, HE'S A REALLY.

>> HE'S HE'S OBVIOUSLY DECIDED THAT HE'S GOING TO BE A FORWARD-FACING, GET OUT WITH NATIONAL MEDIA KIND OF GUY.

HE HAS A CERTAIN EDGE TO HIM IS LIKE A LITTLE ABRASIVE.

WHEN YOU TALK TO HIM.

BUT INTERESTING.

AND HE'S SORT OF ENERGETIC AND KIND AN INDEPENDENT KIND OF FIGURE.

IS REGARDED, I THINK IS VERY THERE WERE PEOPLE I TALKED WHO DON'T LIKE HIM AS WOULDN'T VOTE FOR HIM BUT THOUGHT HE WAS PERHAPS IT'S NOT A SKY, WORKING GUY IN THE COUNCIL.

WHAT I KNOW IT, ESPECIALLY HE'S BEEN VERY VOCAL ABOUT THE DECISIONS BRENDA JENSEN INSTRUCTIONS HAVE HAVE MADE ABOUT THE MIGRANT CRISIS AND >> THAT IS SOMETHING THAT SPEAKS A LOT TO TO SOME OF THE VOTERS IN THAT DISTRICT.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MIGRANT CRISIS FOR A SECOND TO THE MEASLES OUTBREAK AT THE PILLS IN MY BRIDGE OVER THE VERY TROUBLED.

>> KILLS IN MIGRANT SHELTER WHERE THE YOUNG 5 YEAR-OLD CARLOS MARTINEZ RIVERA DIED THIS SHELTER IS NOW IN LOCKDOWN.

HOW HOW BIG IS THE OUTBREAK?

IS IT MANAGED?

>> SO THEY HAVE ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE THERE.

THERE IS ABOUT 12 CASE.

THERE'S TALK CASES CONCERN NOW, AN ADULT AND 11 CHILDREN.

I BELIEVE THEM.

MAY NOT HAVE THE LATEST NUMBERS BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN CONTINUOUS CASES LATELY, ABOUT 900 OF THEM HAVE BEEN VACCINATED.

AND THOSE GOT THE VACCINE HAVE TO BE IN QUARANTINE FOR 21 DAYS.

IT'S UNCLEAR, THOUGH, IF DID IT?

>> WHO OR, YOU KNOW, IF ANYONE WATCHING AND AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE IN THERE.

SO.

>> I DON'T I DON'T DO KNOW THAT THEY'VE MOVED ON TO DIFFERENT SHELTERS NOW TO ALSO VACCINATE THEM.

>> VERY INTERESTING TO TO TO ME IS THE ALDERMAN SEVERAL ALDERMEN WHEN IN THERE TO INFORM OR TRY TO CONVINCE OF THE MIGRANTS TO GET VACCINATED.

SO THAT THAT'S HAPPENED LAST WEEK.

JUST AND AND NOW MAYOR JOHNSON JUST WITHIN THE LAST HOUR, REVISING HIS EVICTION POLICY.

>> FOLKS HAVE ASKED HIM TO DELAY IT ONCE AGAIN ARTICULATED A FEW TIMES, BUT SOME FOLKS WILL BE AFFECTED.

MOST WILL NOT.

THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH UNLIMITED EVICTION POLICY.

YOU THE PEOPLE NOW BE EXEMPTED ARE PRIMARILY FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN.

>> AND THEN PEOPLE WHO UNDER QUARANTINE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE NEXT.

AND SO NEWS WILL 35 TO WHICH IS INTERESTING 35 A SEP 35 TO BE EXACT WILL BE EVICTED TO SUNDAY.

>> BY THE END MARCH OF YET ANOTHER 300 PEOPLE.

AND THEN COUPLE MORE.

THOUSANDS WILL BE MOVING THE MONTHS GO BY.

BUT THEY HAS A ONCE AGAIN SET THAT FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN UNDER WILL BE ALLOWED TO BE THERE.

A LOT OF EXCEPTIONS, TOO.

>> PEOPLE THAT HAVE MEDICAL NEEDS PEOPLE THAT HAS FOUND A PLACE TO LIVE IN ARE JUST WAITING TO MOVE ON THERE.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON, BUT THAT YOU KNOW, AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE EVICTED BASED ON THE INFORMATION THEY GAVE EARLIER AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE ARE MAINLY SINGLE MEN AND SOME OF IT AND WHERE WILL THEY GO?

>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

AND I THINK THAT GOING BACK TO TO HOME CHICAGO IS AMAZING BECAUSE A CHICAGO I ALMOST THINK THAT IT'S PREPARING FOR HOMELESSNESS.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK THAT MANY OF ACTUALLY HAVE A DRAFT PERMIT.

ACTUALLY, MOST OF PERCENTAGE, THEY DON'T QUALIFY.

THEY COULDN'T GET ONE.

SO UNLESS THEY'RE FINDING WORK UNDER THE TABLE AND THEY'RE FINDING SOMEWHERE AFFORDABLE TO LIVE, WHICH GOES BACK TO THE HOUSING CRISIS THAT WE NOT HAVING AFFORDABLE HOUSING CHICAGO.

THAT I THINK A LOT OF THEM ARE MOVING TO STOP FAR SOUTH SIDE WHERE THEY CAN FIGHT SOUTHWEST SIDE WHERE THEY CAN FIND MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

ALL RIGHT.

I MOVE ON TO ISSUE TODAY.

THE CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION.

>> HELD A GET OUT THE VOTE RALLY.

THEY PROMISED HE'S GOING TO BE NON-PARTISAN THAT THEY WERE INVITING CPS STUDENTS TO GO ON A FIELD TRIP LEAVE SCHOOL, GOING TO FIELD TRIP TO THIS.

GET OUT THE VOTE RALLY.

THEY GOT SOME PUSHBACK FROM FOLKS SAYING WILL BRING CHICAGO HOME WHERE WE JUST TALKED ABOUT.

THEY WERE INITIALLY GOING TO BE A SPONSOR THE SO HOW CAN THIS BE NON-PARTISAN?

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO POSTED NOT BRING POLITICS INTO THE CLASSROOM.

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE THERE ISSUES YOU CAN DEBATE 2 SIDES OF I DON'T SEE.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ISSUES.

I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS AN ABSURD IDEA AND VERY PROBLEMATIC.

>> YOU KNOW SOMEBODY IS FIRST-TIME VOTERS KIND OF A SACRED THING.

THE POLL PEOPLE THE IDEA THAT YOU WOULD SOME YOU KNOW, MAKE THAT A SORT OF IDEOLOGICAL.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED VOTE THIS KIND OF WAY AND MAKE ONE OF THE SPONSORS OF A BALLOT INITIATIVE, THE THE THE SPONSOR OF THE EVENT, THE FIRST TIME VOTERS.

WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE IS THAT SENDING CTU ITSELF, WHICH IS HOSTING THAT THEIR UNION HEADQUARTERS IS NOT ONLY A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION, RIGHT?

IT IS MOST POWERFUL POLITICAL ORGANIZATION RIGHT NOW.

IT WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERSON IN THE 5TH FLOOR.

SO HOW CAN THEY SAY THIS IS NON-PARTISAN?

WELL, THEY CAN.

AND I MEAN, THEY HAVE BEEN THE A COMPANY.

I THE FACT TEACHERS ARE IN A POSITION OF TRUST.

SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO AN EVENT ON A SCHOOL DAY THAT YOU'LL TEACHES AND PUT TOGETHER AND YOU GET THE VIBE THAT THAT'S ONE WAY TO VOTE.

AND THEY EVEN SPOKE IN THAT INITIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PARADE OF PARADE OF FIRST TIME VOTERS INTO THE POLLS SPONSORED BY ONE SIDE OF ONE ELECTION.

IT'S NOT.

IT'S NOT RIGHT.

I MEAN, I DON'T THINK IT MATTERS WHETHER YOU SUPPORT CHICAGO HOME OR YOU'RE OPPOSED TO YOU CAN SUPPORT BRING CHICAGO HOME AND BELIEVE THAT NOT TO BE RIGHT.

AND I REALLY FEEL THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST EGREGIOUS THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN IN THE CITY IN TERMS OF ITS POLITICS.

THAT'S THAT'S SAYING A LOT UPS.

THEY KNOW WHEN WHEN WORD OF THIS GOT OUT, THEY SEEM TO BE LITTLE CAUGHT OFF GUARD, OK, WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW THIS, BUT THEN THEY SAY, ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET THEM GO AHEAD BECAUSE THEY PROMISED IT WON'T BE PARTISAN.

>> BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE CPS THERE ARE REAL LITTLE THEY CAN DO SEE TO ANNOUNCE HIS ARE GOING TO HAVE THIS EVENT AND CPS IS LIKE, ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S NOTHING WE THE SHOW HERE, RIGHT?

THEY THEY ESSENTIALLY SAID WE'LL TALK TO THEM ABOUT WHICH IS THE SAME THAT HERE.

BRANDON JOHNSON SAID WHEN HE WAS ASKED ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF >> TOOK THE SAME LINE OF CPS YOU KNOW WHERE WE WANT PEOPLE WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO VOTE.

WE'RE A LITTLE WILL TALK TO TO YOU ABOUT THIS EVENT AND MAKE SURE IT'S NON-PARTISAN.

I THINK THE SEAT HERE, WHICH IS THAT INITIALLY THEY DID NOT BRING BRING CHICAGO HOME INTO THIS RATE.

THERE ARE FIRST LISTED AS A SPONSOR WHEN THEY PUT OUT A STATEMENT LATER, THEY WERE NOT LISTED AS A SPONSOR.

IF I'M REMEMBERING CORRECTLY, IT SEEMED LIKE THEY REMOVED OF THIS HOME DISAPPEARED.

THE SPONSORS.

YES.

AND SECONDLY, THEY A PART OF THAT'S THINK, I MEAN, THE THING IS TO THEY CRITICIZE LORI LIGHTFOOT.

>> FOR DOING IN YOU CRITICIZE LORI LIGHTFOOT FOR THE E-MAILS THAT WAS SENT OUT SORT OF THE ISSUE.

YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS EITHER.

IT WAS A VERY SIMILAR TEST.

WANT JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE THAT.

YEAH, IT WAS GOING TO RAISE THAT.

IT WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT OR LIGHT BUT WANTED STUDENTS TO WORK FOR HER CAMPAIGN.

RESISTS IS MORE TO GET OUT THE VOTE.

BUT YOU KNOW, YEAH, I FORGOT WAS ULTIMATELY FACE AN ETHICS COMPLAINT ABOUT THAT, WHICH NEVER.

>> AND AT THAT, YOU KNOW, IT WAS LATER BUT, THE ISSUE THERE WAS THAT GONE TO CP OFFICIAL CPS E-MAILS THAT WE'RE NOT SURE IF THIS WAS SENT TO OFFICIALS CPS EMAIL.

BUT IT DID SEEM THIS IS MAKES POLITICAL AND THIS IS I PUT THIS IS WORSE THAN THE LIFE OF SITUATION THAT MORE EGREGIOUS.

THERE IS AN ETHICS COMPLAINT THERE BY THE VERY CONSERVATIVE ILLINOIS POLICY SAID THEY WERE THE ONES THAT KIND OF FIRST BROUGHT THIS TO I HAVE ASK YOU, JUSTIN LAWRENCE, BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN UP TO SPEED ON THIS BEAR STADIUM SAGA.

>> I CAN'T KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING IS RIGHT NOW.

SO I WAS STILL THINKING THE LAKEFRONT LOCATION, 2 BILLION DOLLARS.

PRIVATE INVESTMENT IS IN THE LEAD.

NOW OVER ARLINGTON PARK.

YES, I THINK SO THAT THAT'S CERTAINLY THE WAY THE BEARS ARE BEHAVING.

THEY HAVE HIRED CONSULTANTS.

LOOK, ATTORNEYS FINANCIAL.

>> PROFESSIONALS TO FIGURE OUT A STADIUM ON THE LAKEFRONT.

THEY'RE THEY'RE BRIEFING CITY THE LOCAL ALDERMAN ON THIS STATE OFFICIALS.

SO THEY ARE MOVING OFF FOR HER.

ALL DOWN THAT PASSED.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY'LL GET TO WHATEVER WE WANT TO SAY, THE 40 YARD LINE.

AND THEN THOUGH, I THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN IN AND THERE'S SOMETHING GOING FOR US BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY MIGHT THEY MIGHT TRY TO FIND MORE LEVERAGE BY GOING BACK HEIGHTS.

I'M FLIRTING WITH THEM A LITTLE BUT RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE CERTAINLY FOCUSED ON THE ALL OF MY SOURCING SAYS THAT WE'VE REPORTED COMFORTABLE SAYING END.

YOU'VE GOT FRIENDS OF THE PARKS IN THE PASSES SAID, HEY, GET YOUR LAWYERS READY IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD ON PUBLIC SPACE.

ALTHOUGH THERE'S A PARKING LOT THERE NOW.

BUT IT'S THE LAKEFRONT PROTECTION ORDINANCE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BUILD THERE.

>> THEY PUT OUT A STATEMENT THIS WEEK SAYING COULD YOU PLEASE TRY TO FIND ANOTHER LOCATION?

HOW ABOUT THE MICHAEL RESIGNED?

WHAT ABOUT THAT?

BUT THEY STOPPED SHORT OF SAYING FOR SURE THEY'RE GOING TO THEY'VE STOPPED SHORT OF IT.

THEY'VE CERTAINLY SAID THEY THEY SEE THIS POTENTIAL STADIUM AS A THREAT TO THE LAKEFRONT LIKE THEY HAVE IN THE PAST.

BUT BUT LIKE YOU SAID, THEY HAVE STOPPED SHORT OF IT.

I THINK THE BEARS IN THE CITY RIGHT NOW ARE TRYING TO COME UP WITH A WAY TO ENTERTAIN A WAY THAT THEY WANT TO FILE A LAWSUIT OR IF THEY DO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE LEGAL ARGUMENT TO THE FIELD A LAWSUIT.

YOU KNOW, THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THE THE LUCAS MUSEUM, RIGHT?

THAT WAS GOING TO BE A STAR WARS MUSEUM ON THE LAKEFRONT FOUNDED BY GEORGE LUCAS.

HE PULLED OUT OF THAT AND WALKED AWAY FROM IT.

BUT THAT LAWSUIT WAS NEVER IT WAS NEVER HE WAY TO I WANT TO DO NOT A LOT BUILDING ON THE LAKE FRONT, BUT YOU'RE SO THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE TRYING TO GET AROUND IT WHERE IT'S POSSIBLY GOING TO BE OWNED BY YEAR.

YEAH, THAT'S PUBLICLY ON.

DOES THAT GET WE SHOULDN'T.

I MEAN, AND I MEAN, I I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, THE LUCAS MUSEUM, A WORLD-CLASS MUSEUM, WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN FAR BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY BECAUSE THAT WOULD, WHICH IS ABOUT TO OPEN IN L A.

>> THAT WOULD BROADEN TOURISTS THAT WOULD HAVE BROUGHT A NEW NEW VISIT IS THE BEST OF THE BAD AS IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE ECONOMIC EQUATION.

THIS ANYWHERE NEAR AS MUCH AS THEY IF THEY CAN BRING IN MORE CONCERTS.

MORE NCAA TOURNAMENT GOT A LOT OF CONCERT VENUES.

WE GOT WORD THAT THE CASINO ABOUT TO DIRECTLY ABOUT TO BE ANGRY WITH THE CONCERT VENUE.

I MEAN, AND I YOU KNOW, YOU ALREADY HAD TAYLOR SWIFT IN SOLDIER FIELD.

SO I DON'T I DON'T THINK THAT ARGUMENT STRONG.

I THINK IT'S YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT CHICAGO GETS THE BAD AS THEY MAY HAVE A BETTER SHOT BECAUSE THE AND GEORGE LUCAS'S YOU SAY WAS JUST COULDN'T HANDLE CITY POLITICS.

I'M JUST GOING TO SAY, LET'S THE OTHER BIG NEWS OF THIS WEEK AS THE BEARS CONFIRMING THAT THEY WOULD BRING 2 BILLION DOLLARS TO THE TABLE WHICH THIS IS NOT THE TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT.

THERE WOULD MONEY THAT THEY WANT AS MUCH AS JERRY REINSDORF.

WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT RIGHT NOW RATE.

BUT 2 BILLION DOLLARS IS NOT NOTHING.

IT CERTAINLY.

>> IF YOU'RE GOING FIND A DEAL IN THE CITY AND THE IT'S IT'S EASIER IF YOU BRING IN 2 BILLION DOLLARS TO THE TABLE AND NOTHING LIKE JERRY WAITED FOR JERRY REINSDORF GO DOWN HATTON HAND AND ASK FOR EVERYTHING AND MAYBE THEY LOOK LIKE THE MORE REASONABLE PARTY HERE.

>> WE'RE OUT OF TIME.
