MEANWHILE, THE CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION GEARS UP FOR A NEW COLLECTIVE BARGAINING CONTRACT SEEKING AS MUCH AS 9% YEARLY RAISES.

>> AS THE SCHOOL SYSTEM FACES A FISCAL CLIFF, CLAYTON HARRIS, POLITICS AS USUAL EVIDENCE SHOWED WAS INNOCENT MORE DID PROSECUTING ANY SHUNS FLY IN THE CLOSELY CONTESTED COOK COUNTY STATE'S ATTORNEY DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.

>> BETWEEN CLAYTON HARRIS AND JUDGE EILEEN O'NEILL.

BURN.

PRESIDENT BIDEN DELIVERS FORCEFUL CAMPAIGN STYLE STATE OF THE UNION CALLING OUT REPUBLICANS FOR BLOCKING A BORDER DEAL.

THIS AS THE U.S. SUPREME COURT RESTORES INDICTED FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP TO THE BALLOT IN ILLINOIS AND ALL OTHER STATES.

AND IN SPORTS, THE BEARS REPORTEDLY ABOUT TO UNVEIL BIG PROPOSAL FOR LAKEFRONT DOME STADIUM.

BIG ASKED FOR PUBLIC FINANCING.

AND NOW TO OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL JOINING US, OUR TEAM IS FUN.

DALLAS OF THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES.

>> SALTZMAN OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, SARAH CARPET WBEZ AND 80 QUIGG OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE AS WELL IN HONOR OF INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY.

WE HAVEN'T ALL PANEL.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF YOU TO BE AND SARAH CARPET WISH I HAD A WHITE BOARD WHICH I SO WE CAN EXPLAIN THIS ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD BUILT HEADACHE IN THE IN THE EASIEST IN THE IN THE SIMPLEST WAY POSSIBLE.

EXPLAIN TO OUR VIEWERS HOW THIS HYBRID SCHOOL BOARD IS GOING TO WORK.

IF THE GOVERNOR SIGNS THE BILL.

SO BASICALLY YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE BUT IT'S A 10 DISTRICTS.

>> FOR 2025 ELECTION THAT'S GOING TO BE FOR 2025.

EVERYBODY CAN VOTE THEIR DISTRICT, RIGHT.

AND THEY'LL BE 11 PEOPLE WHO WILL BE APPOINTED BY THE MAYOR, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD.

>> BUT OTHER PEOPLE THAT HE APPOINTS HAVE TO BE FROM.

THE SIDE OF THE DISTRICT THAT THE PERSON WHO IS ELECTED ISN'T FROM 10 DISTRICT AND THE PERSON LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE ON ONE SIDE OF THE DISTRICT.

AND THE POINT PERSON HAS TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE >> BY 2026, IT WILL BE ALL ELECTED DISTRICT AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE 10 OF THIS YEAR CAN RUN FOR REELECTION.

IF THEY WANT TO DO IT, YOU CAN RUN FOR ELECTION 2026, UNDECIDED, CITY COUNCIL HAD KIND OF DESIGNED THE BILL AND HAD TO GO TO THE STATE.

BUT INITIALLY STATE SENATE PRESIDENT DON HARMON SAID, WELL, WHAT WE JUST DO ALL ELECTED RIGHT NOW, CTU, WHICH HAS BEEN CLAMORING FOR ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD LET'S WAIT.

YEAH, ANYTHING TO DO WITH HAVING THEIR GUY IN THE 5TH FLOOR GETTING TO A POINT.

ALL THOSE MEMBERS WILL LAST YEAR.

HE CAME UP WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT PROPOSALS ON THE STAIR AND I BOTH COVERED.

IT WAS VERY COMPLICATED.

DOMESTIC NESTED DISTRICTS, ALL TYPES OF DIFFERENT RULES.

>> COMPLICATED THINGS THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU GOT THE MAYOR FOR THE LEAD WITH A LETTER FROM MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON AND HE ALLOWED IT TO GO FORWARD.

SO HE DID WANT THAT.

HE SAID, I WANT YOUR INPUT.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

MAYOR, THIS IS AFFECTING YOUR CITY AND YOU'RE HAVING LAWMAKERS FROM ALL ACROSS THE STATE.

VOTING ON THIS THING.

SO HE WANTED THE CITY'S MAYOR TO TELL US WHAT HE WANTED TO DO YEAH.

AND FENCE BE REAL.

HE ALSO WANTED TO SORT OF FORCE THE MAYOR TO SAY I DON'T WANT TO FULLY ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD.

MEAN, THAT WAS THAT WAS PART OF I THINK CALCULATION WEARING CALCULATION TRY TO GET TO APPOINT THE MAJORITY OF MEMBERS STILL.

WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT THAT POWER?

BUT AGAIN, IT'S LOOKING FOR 2 YEARS.

IT'S VERY HE SAW THE DEBATE WAS SO LUKEWARM.

EVERYONE'S LIKE I GUESS WE'RE DOING HE SORT OF LIKE THIS IS WONDERFUL.

THIS IS GREAT FOR DEMOCRACY.

IT WAS VERY MUCH LIKE THIS IS NOT PERFECT.

SO LET'S GET STARTED AND LET'S SEE HOW IT GOES.

MIKE RECEIVE CAN BE VERY MESSY.

AND I THINK THIS IS GOING TO REALLY ILLUSTRATE THAT.

SO HOW DID THEY DO IN TERMS OF >> EQUITY AND DEMOGRAPHICS OF THESE DISTRICTS?

WELL, THERE ARE SOME A LOT OF FOLKS PROCESS UP FROM THE START.

THERE WERE CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT THEIR B, WHAT THESE DISTRICTS ADAM COULD ADEQUATELY REPRESENT, THE STUDENTS THAT ARE PREDOMINANTLY AND >> CPS DEFER TO THE EXPERTS ON HOW WELL THAT ACTUALLY WORKED OUT.

NOT EVERYONE WAS GOING INTO THE SIDE OUT.

EVERYONE'S HAPPY COMING OUT.

>> AND THE THE INITIAL MAP, WHICH WOULD HAVE HAD A WAY PEOPLE IN THE MAJORITY WHITE DISTRICTS.

THEN THE CITY SAID WAS THE BIG ISSUE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ABOUT 85%.

>> BUT ARE LATINO AND HOW DO YOU THEN HAVE A CITY THAT'S, YOU KNOW, REALLY SORT OF LIKE A 3RD 35%.

35 HEADING THEN LIKE MAKE A SCHOOL BOARD.

THAT REFLECTS THE STUDENT BODY.

AS OPPOSED TO RIGHT CITY.

NOW SALZMAN.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT THESE RACES TO GO TO EXPECT THAT EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE HERE WOULD HAVE SOME CTU BACKING?

>> YOU KNOW, IT ALSO DEFER TO SITUATION.

YEAH, I CTU.

IS IS LIKELY.

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

YEAH.

WELL, IS IT IS THERE SOME THOUGHT TO FIRST 1, OF THESE RACES GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT IT'S NOVEMBER?

THIS NOVEMBER YOU HAVE TO GET THE CANDIDATES THROUGH THE NEXT 3 WEEKS.

I BELIEVE THAT THEY THAT'S WHEN WE GET ARE THEIR CANDIDATES IN EVERY DISTRICT SO FAR?

>> THERE'S I FINALLY HEARD FROM SOME SOMEBODY TODAY.

CALL ME IS THAT I'M RUNNING.

SO THAT'S NUMBER THAT'S NUMBER ONE THAT I HEARD.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HEARING WE'RE STARTING TO HEAR RUMBLINGS, BUT BUT, YOU ITS 61 OF BACKERS, BUT CHARLES AND THE CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE GOING BACK OR STAND FOR CHILDREN, WHICH WE HADN'T HEARD FOR IN A LONG TIME.

I THINK THEY'RE GEARING UP BECAUSE I STARTED GETTING PRESS RELEASES FROM THEM.

THAT'S SORT OF THE NEW GROUP THAT WAS PRETTY ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO.

SO THERE'S THERE'S GOING TO THERE'S GOING TO BE MONEY BECAUSE THERE'S MONEY AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND IT'S GOING TO BE COMING IN.

I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THE SEAT WAS ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAD PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, AND AGAIN, OTHER THING IS LIKE HOW MUCH MONEY SEAT WHO HAS SPENT ON PREVIOUS ELECTIONS HELPING MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON WIN.

BUT ALSO THE CANDIDATES ARE SUPPORTING ROUND.

>> IT TAKES A LOT OF MONEY TO SUPPORT AS MANY CANDIDATES AS THEY ARE SUPPORTING THE WHAT THEY DO HAVE IS MAN POWER TO LYNN, WHICH I DON'T THINK TO EXTENT OR SCHOOLS TO HAVE THAT NETWORK, BUT NOT THE SAME WAY TODAY.

AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE LEARNED IN THIS ELECTION.

BALLOTS HAD MORE MONEY, BUT THE CTU HAD THE POWER OF THE TURNOUT.

>> SPEAKING OF MONEY LOOKS SOME OUTLETS HAVE GOTTEN LEAKED COPIES OF THE SEA TO USE CONTRACT PROPOSAL.

THEIR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT IS UP AND LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE ASKING FOR 9% BASE PAY RAISE EVERY YEAR WHERE CPS GOING TO FIND THE MONEY TO.

>> WELL, THIS IS THE STARTING POINT, RIGHT?

SO THEY'RE SHOOTING FOR THE THEY THEY WILL GET IT.

THEY'LL BE FORCED TO COMPROMISE.

I MEAN, THEY HAVE A LOT OF OTHER ASKED.

I THINK THEY SAID THAT THEY HUNDREDS OF PROPOSALS, WHICH I GUESS THEY ALWAYS DO.

AND, YOU KNOW, SOME ARE VERY SMALL LIKE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PLANNING TIME AND WE HAVE 5 MINUTES HERE, 10 MINUTES HERE.

BUT THEN THERE'S A LOT OF PROPOSALS.

I MEAN, A LIBRARY.

AND THEN EVERY SCHOOL THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG PUSH, MORE MONEY FOR SPORTS, MORE MONEY, MONEY FOR ARTS AND A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO COST A LOT OF THAT LET'S NOT FORGET THEY'RE FACING A 700 MILLION DOLLARS FISCAL CLIFF.

>> RIGHT.

AND SO NOTHING THAT WAS THE MOST INTERESTING, PERHAPS STACY DAVIS GATES SAID WHEN SHE SPOKE AT THE CITY CLUB THIS WEEK WAS SHE STARTED.

SHE STARTED TO TALK ABOUT A PHASED IN APPROACH.

AND A LONG CONTRACT.

SO WHAT DOES THAT SAY TO ME IS THAT?

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS MAYBE GET A 5 YEAR CONTRACT.

AND YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU PUT A LOT OF THE SURF LATER AND HOPE THAT YOU CAN FIND THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FIND MONEY.

IT'S ALSO WAITED TO TIE THE HANDS OF THIS NEWLY ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD.

TIE THE HANDS IF.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE DOWN TO.

IS THAT MAYOR YOU KNOW, IN A COUPLE YEARS, BUT THAT MIDDLE AND THEN I THAT'S GOING TO BE.

BUT JUST IN CASE.

SO I THINK THAT THAT'S A VERY INTERESTING STRATEGY.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GET BACK TO SOME CITY NEWS, THE BRING CHICAGO HOME, A BALLOT REFERENDUM THAT WOULD ASK VOTERS WHETHER A NEW TAX ON HIGH REAL ESTATE SALES SHOULD BRING IN 100 MILLION DOLLARS.

>> BUT HOMELESS PROGRAM.

SO IT'S OFFICIALLY.

>> BACK ON THE BALLOT NOW ABOUT I MEAN, IT WAS ALWAYS ON THEIR KIND OF THAT JUST IN THIS DISPUTE.

THE APPELLATE COURT RULED THAT IT CAN OFFICIALLY ON THE BALLOT.

THEY DID NOT REMOVE.

IT IS WHAT I'M SAYING LIKE PEOPLE GOING TO BE ON AIR.

BUT OKAY.

BUT I THINK THAT'S SO CONFUSING FOR VOTERS.

I THINK MAY HAVE IMPACTED THIS REFERENDUM BECAUSE IF YOU ARE UNSURE OR NOT TRUSTING WHAT YOU'RE READING AND IT YOU SEE THIS ON THIS BALLOT.

I THINK IT'S IT'S PRETTY CONFUSING FOR A VOTER TO THINK THAT IT WOULDN'T COUNT.

SO BASICALLY THE APPELLATE COURT SIDED WITH THE CHICAGO BOARD OF ELECTIONS WHO CLAIM, LOOK, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH POLICY WERE NOT THE PROPER DEFENDANT ON THIS CASE.

WHY DID THE PLAINTIFFS WHICH REPRESENT REAL ESTATE INTEREST?

WHY WOULD THEY WHY WOULD THEY SHOW THE CHICAGO BOARD OF ELECTIONS?

THE CITY OF CHICAGO, THE CAME UP WITH COURT, DIDN'T ADDRESS AT THE PARK OR JUST SAID, HEY, YOU CAN'T SUE AT THIS POINT IN THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.

WE NEED TO LET ALL THE STEPS GO THROUGH.

IT'S NOT THE COURT'S JURISDICTION TO DECIDE AT THIS POINT A LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.

WE'RE ON.

>> STEP ONE.

THERE'S GOING TO BE THIS PUBLIC VOTE AND THEN THERE WILL BE COUNCIL IF IT DOES PASS COUNCIL ASKED OF OUR OWN.

I THINK THERE'S A POSSIBILITY.

I SPOKE WITH SOME ELECTION ATTORNEYS THIS WEEK WHO SAID I THINK THESE REAL ESTATE INTERESTS HAVE A GOOD CHANCE IF AFTER PASSAGE THEY CAME BACK AND SAID THIS WAS NOT A PROPERLY FORMED QUESTION.

WE SHOULD TOSS IT OUT.

WELL, THAT WAS AT A LAKE THAT SEEMS LIKE BOTH LIKE, SAY THE THING DOESN'T PASS.

>> COULDN'T THE PRO SHOULD BRING CHICAGO HOME REFERENDUM.

PEOPLE SAY, HEY, THIS WAS SO CONFUSING, PEOPLE FIND COUNTESS THIS THIS RESULT SHOULD BE THROWN OUT.

WE SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER TRY AT THIS.

>> WELL, AND IF IT IF IT DOES FAIL, I THINK THEY COULD TRY AGAIN.

I THINK THE PROBE BRING HOME.

FOLKS COULD TRY COULD REMEMBER, RIGHT?

THE QUESTION I'VE BEEN ASKING OVER AND OVER, LIKE IF THIS DOESN'T WORK OUT, GOING TO TRY NOT VERY POPULAR THING ABOUT THE PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAX REFERENDUM LIKE IT'S SCARY.

PEOPLE ARE SCARED OF THESE TYPES OF CHANGES OR NOT REALLY KNOWING SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY'RE NOT QUITE SURE THAT THE LANGUAGE SHOWS THAT THE 100 MILLION WOULD ACTUALLY GO TOWARDS MAYBE THERE'D BE SOME SQUISHY OTHER THINGS THAT CAN GO TOWARD THE MAYOR JUST TRYING TO NOT EVEN SAID HOW THIS WAS GOING TO BE SPENT AND WILL WILL WILL COME UP WITH A PLAN TO DO THAT LATER.

WE'LL START WITH THE NUMBER.

>> SO THEY MIGHT FOLKS MIGHT BE WORRIED THAT THERE ARE STILL SOME FEDERAL FUNDS.

BUT I THINK GOOD NEWS FOR THE SITE FOR HOMELESSNESS.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS GET A QUESTION IS LIKE, WHAT'S TURNOUT GOING TO DON'T YOU HAVE A COUPLE CONTESTED RACES BUT THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE IS NOT DOES IT SO WHEN YOU THINK THAT MEANS FOR TURNOUT IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO?

>> WELL, MAYBE PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THE STATE'S ATTORNEY.

I DON'T THAT THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT RACE.

PORT AREA.

SO I I MEAN, MAYBE IT WILL TURN OUT FOR THAT.

BUT I DO THINK THAT MOST PEOPLE SINCE PRESIDENT IS SO DECIDED MAYBE PEOPLE TURN OUT TO SAY THAT THEY.

AND THE UNCOMMITTED FOR PRESIDENTIAL RACE TO SAY, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE A PROTEST VOTE.

BUT I REALLY DO THINK THAT THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TURN OUT.

THERE'S EARLY VOTING PLACES AND MY YMCA AND I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYBODY WALK AROUND.

I MEAN, I THINK THE TOTAL EARLY VOTING NUMBERS ACROSS THE CITY ARE ONLY A FEW 1000 AT THIS POINT, WHICH IS REALLY SMALL COUPLE 10,000 BECAUSE OF EARLY VOTING HAS STARTED SO EARLY.

PEOPLE GOT USED TO IT.

I HAVE NO IDEA.

>> THE NUMBERS WE'RE SEEING NOW WILL KIND OF STAY THE SAME OR WILL ACTUALLY SEE HOW THEY'RE GOING TO SEE VOTING DAY SURGES ANYMORE.

SO I DO THINK WE'LL LONG LINES ON VOTING DAY.

THAT'S THAT'S PER TENDS TO BE VERY LOW TURNOUT ELECTION THAT NOW I WANT TO TURN TO A STORY REPORTED ON.

>> ABOUT THE MIGRANTS BEEN FILING MIGRANT CRISIS PRETTY CLOSELY AND A SHORTAGE NOW OF HYGIENE PRODUCTS AND ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES MIGRANT THEY'RE COMPLAINING HOW HOW BAD IS THIS SHORTAGE?

>> YEAH, IT SEEMS LIKE FAVORITE STAFFING, YOU KNOW, WHICH IS THE LARGEST CONTRACTOR TO HANDLE THE BURGEONING MIKE IN CRISIS.

THEY THEY TO REQUESTS TO AND SO IT SEEMS LIKE ACTUALLY THE SUPPLY SHORTAGE IS HANDLED BY FAVORITE STAFFING.

SO THE SUPPLY SHORTAGE ITSELF.

THERE'S QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S ENOUGH HYGIENE PRODUCTS AND TOILET PAPER, DIAPERS, DIAPERS?

EXACTLY.

BUT WHAT WE RAN INTO THIS WEEK AND WHAT WE REPORTED ON THIS WEEK IS THE RATIONING OF SUPPLIES.

SO VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE DROPPING OFF DONATIONS OUTSIDE SHELTERS BECAUSE THEY'VE HEARD OVER SHORTAGES OF REALLY ESSENTIAL ITEMS, RIGHT, LIKE, LIKE WE SAID, PADS AND DIAPERS.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE COMING IN BRINGING SUPPLIES TO SHELTERS AND THEN MIGRANTS ARE BEING TOLD THEY CAN'T GET SUPPLIES FROM FAVORITE STAFFING.

YOU KNOW, OFFICIALS INSIDE SHELTERS.

AND THAT'S THAT TO GO UP TO TO STAFFERS AND ASK FOR TOILET PAPER AND ASK FOR, YOU KNOW, PADS WHEN I ON HER PERIOD.

WHY?

WHY ARE OUTSIDE GROUPS THAT WANT TO DONATE THIS STUFF?

WAIT, WHY?

>> IS IT SO HARD TO GET THAT STUFF TO THE MIGRANTS?

WHITE'S FAVORITE STAFFING AS I UNDERSTAND, HAPPENS LIKE.

>> KIND OF DISCOURAGING THAT.

>> RIGHT.

EXACTLY.

IT'S KIND OF A LONG HISTORY WITH FAVORITE STAFFING LAST SUMMER.

YOU KNOW, SOME VOLUNTEERS ARE OUTSIDE JUST GIVING FOOD TO MIGRANTS AND THEY WERE ARRESTED BY SOME POLICE OR AT LEAST THEY WERE.

AND SAID, BUT THEY WERE HARASSED BY POLICE TOLD TO LEAVE THE PREMISES.

JUST WONDER WHY THERE'S A SHORTAGE AND FOLKS WANT TO HELP AND GIVE SUPPLY WHY?

>> WANT TO COST ABOUT A BUNCH TAPERS LAST WEEK AND BROUGHT THEM AND HOPEFULLY THEY GOT THEM.

BUT MAYBE NOT.

SEEMS LIKE FAVORITE STAFFING, WHATEVER THEY HAVE THIS 40 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT WITH THE CITY THAT THEY THEY RECENTLY RENEWED THEIR RUNNING THE PILSEN MIGRANT SHELTER, WHICH WE KNOW IS HAD JUST NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS NOTHING BUT BAD CONDITIONS, DISEASE OUTBREAKS AND MEASLES.

TODAY WHERE THEY'RE TALKING TO SOME WOMEN OUTSIDE, YOU KNOW, WHO ARE SAYING THAT THEY WERE TOLD NOT TO GO TO SCHOOL, BUT THEY'VE GOTTEN THIS IS RIGHT IN EXPERTISE LIKE THEY'VE GOTTEN A CALL, YOU KNOW, FROM CPS RIGHT HERE, YOUR STANDARD, WHY KIDS AT SCHOOL CALL AND SO THEY'RE GOING EVEN THOUGH THEY WEREN'T VACCINATED, THEY'RE GOING BACK DOWN ENTRY SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO TELL AND USHER TEACHERS.

THE REASON WAS BECAUSE OF THE MEASLES OUTBREAK.

SO IT'S YEAH, SHE WONDERED, I MEAN, THESE KIDS GOING TO PROBABLY WONDER IF IT COULD SPREAD IN PUBLIC SHELTER, EVEN STILL OPEN GIVEN.

>> ALL THE TROUBLE THAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED OVER AND OVER AND INCLUDING THE 5 YEAR-OLD BOY DIED THE LARGEST ONES IN THE SYSTEM, RIGHT.

SO HAVE TAKEN ALREADY TAKEN.

HOW MANY SHELTERS OFFLINE AND TAKING.

I WANT FIND ONE.

>> THE POSSIBILITY SHELTERS THAT HAVE GONE OFFLINE, RIGHT?

BY THE WAY, SPEAKING OF GOING OFFLINE, THE MARCH 16TH, I BELIEVE, THE CUT OFF DAY WHERE IN THIS IS THE 60 DAY EVICTION.

NOTICE MAYOR JOHNSON HAS SORT OF EXTENDED THIS DEADLINE FOR MIGRANTS TO THINK HE'S GOING TO DO IT AGAIN OR FOR REAL.

THIS TIME YOU MIGHT SEE MIGRANTS BEING EVICTED IF THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR 60 DAYS ARE LONG RIGHT TO THE QUESTION.

I THINK.

>> I THINK THAT MAYOR JOHNSON, YOU KNOW, IS LOOKING AT A DEFICIT OF FINES.

AND SO THAT'S SORT OF WHY I HAVEN'T GOTTEN AN ANSWER FROM CITY AND STATE OFFICIALS ABOUT WHY SHELTERS ARE CLOSING.

BUT IT CERTAINLY SEEMS.

AND FROM REPORTING, YOU KNOW, BRANDON JOHNSON SPENDING 1.5 MILLION A DAY ON THE MIGRANT CRISIS, RIGHT?

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

AND SO I THINK HE'S EXTENDED IT 2 TIMES BEFORE.

YEAH, CITING WEATHER NOT WANTING TO PUT PEOPLE OUT IN THE STREET, BUT IT YOU KNOW, IT'S AT THIS POINT.

THAT'S WHERE THE MEETS THE ROAD.

AND DO WE HAVE THE RESOURCES TO KEEP SHELTERS OPENED YESTERDAY SAYS, WELL, THIS IS STILL HAPPENING.

SO THEY NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT.

THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT WITH COOK COUNTY BOARD PRACTICAL BOARD, PRESIDENT TONI PRECKWINKLE AND >> THE GOVERNOR TO GIVE 70 MILLION OR SO EACH AND THE MAYOR HAS NOT DONE THAT.

SO THERE'S THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE ARGUING THAT THIS IS STILL IT'S NOT OVER.

IT'S TIME TO FIND THE FUNDS FOR THAT TO CONTINUE TO FUND.

WAS GOING TO ASK YOU, WHERE IS WHERE IS THE CITY ON THAT?

A MEETING IN GOVERNOR PRITZKER'S BUDGET ADDRESS BASICALLY SAID >> WERE PONYING UP.

THE AGREEMENT WAS COOK COUNTY WAS GOING TO PONY UP THE CITY'S GOING TO PONY UP.

BUT MAYOR JOHNSON'S DIFFERED ON THAT'S THING ABOUT WHAT WHAT IS HAPPENING THE PASSES WHEN THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY, THE STATE SAVES PRITZKER DOES NOT WANT THE CITY TO LOOK BAD AND DNC YEAR AND A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

SO THEY ARE ALWAYS GOING TO SAVE THE CITY.

SO I THINK THEY'RE KIND OF USING THAT TACTIC OF THEY KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE SAVED.

BUT THEY'RE BEING A LITTLE SHAMES, YOU KNOW, LIKE PLEASE GIVE MONEY TO IT WAS THE GOVERNOR KEEPS GOING OUT PUBLICLY KIND OF CALLING OUT THE MAYOR'S MANAGEMENT OF THIS, WAS KIND OF EXTORTION DURING DISCUSSIONS ONGOING ABOUT TRYING TO GET THAT MONEY FROM THE CITY.

I DON'T THINK IT'S COMPLETELY OVER.

>> DO WE HAVE ANY SOMETIMES IN QUESTION WE HAVE ANY SENSE OF HOW MIGRANTS ARE ACTUALLY GETTING HOUSING LIKE IS THAT PROCESS?

>> GOING ANY BETTER?

WE'VE HEARD OF IN THE PAST.

>> IT'S IT'S GOING BECAUSE THE STATE HAS REALLY MADE AN EFFORT.

THEY'VE COMMITTED.

>> A LOT OF MONEY THROUGH RENTAL ASSISTANCE OF PEOPLE ARE MOVING OUT OF THE SHELTERS.

THEY'RE PREDOMINANTLY MOVING TO THE SOUTH AND WEST SIDES.

SO AND AND THAT, YOU KNOW, RAISES CONCERNS FOR SOME FOR SOME PEOPLE, THOSE THAT ARE LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY AND ADVOCATES WHO SAY MAYBE, YOU KNOW, MIGRANTS MAY NOT SPEAK THE LANGUAGE THAT I HAVE LONG COMMUTES TO SCHOOL.

YOU KNOW, ASKED US.

AS YOU YOU KNOW, PROTECTIONS OF HOW MUCH MIGHT THAT STUDENTS?

THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERN FOR BUT IT IS TRUE.

IT'S HAPPENING A LOT.

A LOT OF MIGRANTS ARE LEAVING SHELTERS THAT'S WHY MANY OF THEM TAKEN OFFLINE.

ALRIGHT, SO THE STATE'S ATTORNEY'S RACE WAS BROUGHT UP BEFORE AD >> SO TELL US ABOUT THE 2 DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES, CLAYTON HARRIS, EILEEN O'NEILL, BURKE.

>> THERE'S A LOT TO TELL.

AND THE BATTLE RIGHT NOW IS KIND OF OVER WHO IS MORE PROGRESSIVE AND WHO IS A FAKE PROGRESSIVE.

BOTH BOTH ARE TRYING TO KIND OF ASSUME THE MANTLE, THE MORE PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE EILEEN O'NEILL BURKE, 30 YEARS IN THE COURTROOM.

SHE STARTED PROSECUTOR MOVED ON TO BECOME A DEFENSE ATTORNEY.

BUT JUDGE THAT ONE UP TO THE APPELLATE COURT, RETIRED FROM APPELLATE COURT TO RUN FOR THIS OFFICE.

SHE'S REALLY RUNNING ON HER EXPERIENCE.

HER KNOW HOW OF THE COURT SYSTEM AND KIND OF BEING TOUGHER ON CRIME.

AND CURRENT STATE'S ATTORNEY KIM FOXX, CLAYTON HARRIS.

THE 3RD ALSO STARTED OUT AS AN ASSISTANT STATE ATTORNEY IN THE 90'S MOVED ON TO ESSENTIALLY GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS AT THE CITY AND STATE HERE AND THAT ILLINOIS PORT DISTRICT ALSO SERVE AS A LOBBYIST FOR A COUPLE COMPANIES INCLUDING LIFT AND THROUGHOUT HAS PUBLIC POLICY ON POLICING UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO IT'S GONE NEGATIVE ESSENTIALLY IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS.

AND IN A REALLY INTENSE WAY AND DESPITE SAYS HOPES TO COME, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS RACE.

WE HAD SOME RECENT POLLING WHERE IT WAS ESSENTIALLY EVENLY SPLIT BETWEEN CANDIDATES.

WHY 40 PLUS PERCENT OF PEOPLE NOT KNOWING RIGHT THERE, IT SEEMS LIKE A TOSS UP AND IT'S JUST SUCH AN IMPORTANT OFFICE.

I MEAN, THIS IS 6 MILLION PEOPLE IN COOK COUNTY, THE SECOND-LARGEST PROSECUTOR IN THE COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.

SO A VERY IMPORTANT OFFICE.

AND, YOU KNOW, >> IT'S BEEN MET WITH UNDER KIM FOXX.

BUT AGAIN, YOU JUDGE BURKE.

>> CLAYTON HARRIS IS TRYING TO CALL IT THE FACT THAT SHE'S GETTING LOTS.

HE'S OUT RAISING HIM JUST GETTING MONEY FROM REPUBLICAN DONORS LIKE I'M THE CEO, I BELIEVE OF CITADEL AND THE SUN.

WILL BE SENT A STAGE.

A PRESS CONFERENCE RIGHT OUTSIDE MONDAY WITH PRECKWINKLE AND OTHERS TALKING ABOUT THOSE CONTRIBUTIONS.

>> I MEAN, YOU CAN ARGUE BUSINESS LEADERS, SOME BUSINESS LEADERS IN CHICAGO ARE REPUBLICANS.

SO IT'S NOT A HUGE SURPRISE THAT THEY WOULD BE SUPPORTING SOMEONE IN THE BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY BELIEVE THAT.

>> THE CLINTON SIDE BELIEVES THAT THAT SHOWS THAT HE IS, YOU KNOW, THAT SHE IS NOT AS PROGRESSIVE AS CLEAN AND IN AND SHE I INTERVIEWED BOTH OF THEM THIS WEEK FOR STORM NEXT WEEK.

BUT SHE BASICALLY SAID, FOLKS WANT.

>> SAFER CITIES THAT DOESN'T NO POLITICAL PARTY.

THEY WANT A SAFE DOWNTOWN.

THEY WANT THE STORE'S TOPIC AND ONE THING THAT THEY DO DIFFER ON.

WE KNOW IS HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PROSECUTE RETAIL THEFT.

YES, THAT'S BEEN LIKE ONE OF THE MOST DEFINING ISSUES OF THIS RACE.

DESPITE BEING A RELATIVELY SMALL ROLE IN LIKE THE GRAND MANDATE OF THE OFFICE.

SO CLAYTON HARRIS SAID HE'S GOING TO KEEP KIM FOXX POLICY IN PLACE, WHICH WAS >> NOT TO PROSECUTE THEFT IF THE IF THE GOODS BEING STOLEN ARE LESS $300, HE'S GOING TO KEEP THAT SPECIAL PLACE.

THE STATE THRESHOLD IS NOW.

THAT'S A THRESHOLD 300, 300.

I MEAN, YES.

>> FOXX SAID $1000 AND CUT OFF THAT WE'RE GOING TO FOR FELONY.

OTHERWISE IT WILL BE A MISDEMEANOR.

AND CLAYTON HAS I WILL PROSECUTE THIS IF IT INVOLVES A BREAK-IN OR IF IT INVOLVES VIOLENCE AS A FELONY.

>> THIS BIG SPLIT.

AND I THINK OF THE REASON THAT THIS COMMUNITY IS REALLY BEHIND JUSTICE BECAUSE SHE SAYS I'M GOING TO FOLLOW THE STATE DOES NOT MY ROLE TO NOT FOLLOW STATE LAW.

I WILL EXERCISE DISCRETION IF IT'S A FIRST TIME OFFENSE.

BUT I'M GONNA STICK TO THAT $300 THRESHOLD BECAUSE YOU CAN REALLY CLEAR OUT A LOT FROM A BUSINESS UNDER $300 AND IT IT IT IT THIS FEELING OF SAFE.

NOT BEING SAFE AND OUR LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND FOLKS MAY BE RIGHT.

RE OFFENDING OFFENDING.

ALL LET'S TALK ABOUT THE STATE OF THE UNION TEAM IS FINE, >> VERY VIGOROUS STYLE SPEECH LAST NIGHT FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN AS HE PUT TO REST.

THESE WORRIES THAT MAYBE LOSE A STEP OR 2 OR 3.

AND, YOU KNOW, HE'S STILL GOT THAT VIGOR.

I THINK SO.

I THINK PEOPLE DESCRIBING HIS FIERY THAT HE GOT THROUGH WITH A LOT OF HIS MAIN POINTS AS THE SPEAKER JOHNSON.

>> BEHIND HIM KIND OF NODDING SOMETIMES BECAUSE HE SAID REALLY OBVIOUS THINGS LIKE UKRAINIANS TO BE SUPPORTED IVF SHOULD BE PROTECTED.

IT'S THINGS THAT SOME OF A LOT OF REPUBLICANS AGREE WITH.

>> SO WE KIND OF WENT INTO AVENUE OF LIKE PUBLIC OPINION.

THIS IS WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS.

AND I'M GONNA HELP TO GET IT.

SO IT KIND OF HARD TO FIND.

>> SOMETHING INCLUDING BORDER SECURITY, WHICH THEY'RE CONSERVATIVE.

SENATOR LANKFORD FROM OKLAHOMA WHO PRETTY MUCH WROTE THAT BORDER SECURITY BILL THAT BIDEN SAYS, HEY, ME, AND WE KNOW THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP REPORTEDLY CALLED, YOU KNOW, HOUSE MEMBERS AND SENATE REPUBLICANS DON'T PASS THAT.

DON'T PASS LET'S KEEP THE CHAOS AT THE BORDER BECAUSE THAT'S A POLITICAL VICTORY FOR IS GOOD FOR DEMOCRATS.

AND I THINK HE WAS TRYING TO HIGHLIGHT ALL THOSE PROBLEMS AHEAD OF AN ELECTION.

WE'VE GOT I MEAN, WE HAD SUPER TUESDAY.

WE'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE.

>> PRIMARY.

WONDER HOW HOW ANGRY TRUMP ARE.

SOME OF THE CONSERVATIVES ARE THAT CAMERA SHOT THAT GOT LANKFORD.

BASICALLY THINK WAS ON CAMERA?

WE'RE GOING.

THIS IS I THINK EVERYONE NEEDS FOR PREPARED TO BE ON CAMERA AND WE SAW A LOT YESTERDAY.

WE SAW A LOT A LOT OF YESES.

WE SAW MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE, LOTS OF REACTIONS YET.

NOW THAT IT DID YOU TUNE IN, DO WHAT HE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THAT.

AND THEN THE THE RESPONSE AFTERWARD.

>> RIGHT.

RESPONSE AFTERWARD?

I MEAN, I THINK PEOPLE AND AT LEAST MY OF EXPERTISE, IMMIGRATION, YOU KNOW, THE THEY COMING IN ON HIS IS NOTING OF >> THE WORD HE TALKED A LOT ABOUT IMMIGRATION, RIGHT?

AND THAT WAS LIKE.

>> REALLY INTERESTING FOR ME TO TO THINK ABOUT WHERE THAT STANDS IN THE AND WITH THAT STAND IN THE SUN AND AND HOW HOW POLITICIZED EVERYTHING HAS BEEN.

THERE'S SO MUCH NOISE POLITICS FOR IMMIGRATION.

>> RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT, PARTICULARLY WITH HIS RHETORIC AND.

>> AND ALSO, YEAH, JUST RECENT EVENTS AND CHICAGO, A NATIONAL IMMIGRATION TURNED INTO THE ULTIMATE POLITICAL WEDGE ISSUE THAT IT SEEMS ESPECIALLY REPUBLICANS WANT.

>> TO HAVE ON ON THE BALLOT EVERY 2 YEARS OR SO.

AND THEY PUSHED BIDEN TO BE CONSERVATIVE WAY MORE CONSERVATIVE.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

HE'S TRYING TO DO, WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT DOING.

I MEAN, IF YOU'RE A PROGRESSIVE IMMIGRATION, I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU REALLY SUPPORT WHAT BIDEN, YOU KNOW, INCREASED.

YOU KNOW, OFFICER A CRACKDOWN.

I MEAN, THEY REALLY GOT HIM IN THAT STANCE AND THAT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE WHO WERE JUST, YOU KNOW, GREAT.

AND I THINK IT IT ALSO TIES INTO JUST HOW DIVIDED THE BASE OF BOTH BIDEN AND TRUMP ARE RIGHT WITH GAZA WITH ISRAEL AND >> AND THE SITUATION WITH IMMIGRATION DIVIDE THE DEMOCRATIC ISRAEL.

YEAH.

AND LOOKING AT THE DNC IN CHICAGO AND HOW THAT WILL AFFECT BOTH OF BOTH CANDIDATES ARE GOING TO WEAKNESSES WITHIN THEIR 80 QUICKLY, 15 SECONDS LEFT.

BUT ARE THERE ACTUALLY BE PLANS UNVEILED FOR A BEARS?

DON'T LAKEFRONT STADIUM SOME POINT THINGS OUT OF THE QUESTION WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT TEAMS WANT FOR STADIUMS.

NOTHING OUT OF THE LAKE.

I I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF IDEAS THAT ARE HOW MANY OF THEM STICK BECAUSE WE HAVE STATE LEGISLATURE WILL APPARENTLY THE GOVERNOR NOT NOT WILD ON STADIUM.

SUBSEQUENT PARENT THE HOUSE SPEAKER CHRIS WATTS SAW ACTUAL BEARS PLANS.

>> I BELIEVE SO.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOING WHERE THE GOVERNOR HAS SAID HE DOES NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH PUBLIC SUBSIDIES.

YOU JUST SAW IN VIRGINIA AND THEY SHOT THAT DOWN THE TICKET.

OTHER STATE BUDGET.

>> SOME VERY POPULAR, ESPECIALLY IN AN ELECTION YEAR, I THINK TO INCLUDE SUCH THINGS.

AND THEN WE HAVE TO.

>> MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS LOOKING FIRST NEW STATE IS IN PUBLIC SUBSIDIES.

SO POPULAR BUT CERTAINLY FUN TO COVER.

WE'RE OUT OF TIME.

SORRY.

THANKS TO T S FIND ALICE NOW SALTZMAN SARAH KARP AND 80 CRAIG AND WE'RE BACK TO WRAP THINGS UP RIGHT AFTER THIS.

STILL, OF THOSE LAWMAKERS MIGHT NOT BE IN FAVOR OF THIS, BUT ARE THERE LIKE RENDERINGS AND DRAWINGS OUT?

THERE IS SOMETHING TO DEVELOPERS HAVE LOTS OF PLANS AND PICTURES AND PRETTY THINGS TO SHOW PEOPLE.

ITS JUST HASN'T GONE.

AND IN THE PAST WHEN THIS ALL THE BEHIND THE SCENES OF THOSE ACTUALLY HAPPENING, THE FACT THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY SHOWING EVERYTHING.

I WANT TO GET PEOPLE EXCITED BY HOW SCHOOLS ARE RENDERINGS LOOKING AT ARE A LOT OF PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR ANY ARMS LIKE THE RISK OF LOSING 2 IS.

>> SCARY PEOPLE AND THE EXCITEMENT OF GETTING CLOSED CAPTIONING IS MADE POSSIBLE.

>> BY CLIFFORD AND CLIFFORD LAW OFFICES, CHICAGO, PERSONAL INJURY AND WRONGFUL DEATH THAT IS PROUD TO RECOGNIZE ITS 18
