>> GOOD EVENING AND THANKS FOR JOINING US ON THE WEEK IN REVIEW INDEFINITE ILLINOIS'S GOVERNOR IS PUSHING FOR CHANGES TO AN EMBATTLED CHICAGO AGENCY.

>> LOOK, A LOT OF CHANGES ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE PLACE.

THERE'S NO DOUBT AT CTA GHOST BUSES AND A LOOMING DEFICIT.

COULD IT BE THE END OF THE ROAD FOR DORVAL CARTER AS THE GOVERNOR CALLS FOR NEW LEADERSHIP AT THE CTA.

>> AND IF SO MUCH CONTENT IF EXPLODE AND DIVIDE US.

>> THEY ARE RACKING UP THE SCOREBOARD.

>> NOTHING ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW COMING THEM.

HEY, WE SHOULD CHILL IN THE DESPITE THAT DIVIDE, CHICAGO AGREES TO SPEND MILLIONS MORE TO CARE FOR MIGRANTS.

THIS IS FOLLOWED OVER THE POLICE KILLING OF DEXTER RELEASE TO SPARRING AND SCRUTINY OVER CPD INVESTIGATIONS.

>> PARENTS IN CHICAGO VOTERS DESERVE TO HAVE A VOICE WHEN DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE.

THAT WOULD CAUSE POTENTIAL BE REPAIRABLE AND IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THEIR SCHOOLS.

>> THE CTU TAKES A HIT AS IT PREPARES TO DRIVE A HARD BARGAIN FOR ITS NEXT CONTRACT.

AND IN SPORTS, SHY, BARBIES BLOWING INTO THE WINDY CITY SKY.

WE LOOK AT THE FUTURE OF THE WNBA.

>> AND NOW TO OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL JOINING US, TINA SPEND ALL US OF THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES KIMBELL AWARE OF THE WASHINGTON POST.

SHE KEPT THIS OF POLITICO AND COSTABILE ALSO OF THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES.

THANKS TO EACH OF, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO GET RIGHT TO SOME PRETTY FRESH NEWS ACTUALLY AFTER SOME DELAY THIS AFTERNOON, IT WENT THROUGH.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FUNDING FROM THE CITY FOR MIGRANTS.

IT WAS A VOTE 30 TO 18 TO SPEND ABOUT 70 MILLION DOLLARS ON MIGRANT PARENTS.

START WITH WHY HE'S THIS MONEY SO CONTROVERSIAL, CONTROVERSIAL BECAUSE IT'S MONEY FROM THE CITY REVENUE AND THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO SPEND.

>> WHAT WAS MOST TELLING TODAY WAS HOW DIVIDED THE COUNCIL WAS.

IT BECAME VERY RACIALLY FOCUS.

THE DEBATE TODAY, A LOT OF ALDERMAN DIDN'T WANT THE FUNDING TO GO THROUGH BECAUSE THEY HAVE PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITY WHO THEY SAY.

WHERE'S MINE JUST WAITING.

THEY'VE BEEN WAITING THE BIG PICTURE IS THE MAYOR.

TONI PRECKWINKLE, WHO PUSHED FOR THIS ONCE.

JUST LOOK AT THIS IS A BIG CITY ISSUE.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IS COMING.

CHILD, THE MAN HAS TO THINK BEYOND THEIR ALSO AT LEE PASSED, BUT IT WAS VERY DIVISIVE.

YOU CAN YOU PAY ATTENTION AND KEEP YOUR EYE WHAT'S GOING ON NATIONALLY.

THERE ARE OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE MIGRANTS SENT THEIR WAY FROM TEXAS.

>> ARE WE SEEING THE SORT RACIAL FISSURES ELSEWHERE?

IS THIS A PARTICULARLY CHICAGO?

IT IS SO UNIQUE TO CHICAGO BECAUSE OF OUR HISTORY WITH SEGREGATION, THE WAY THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS CONTINUE TO BE SEGREGATED.

YOU KNOW, NEW YORK IS HAVING ITS OWN BATTLES.

YOU SEE THIS ALSO SOMEONE CITIES IN COLORADO AND IN CALIFORNIA.

>> BUT REALLY, I THINK OURS IS IS PRETTY SPECIFIC BECAUSE OF OUR UNIQUE AND HISTORIC DYNAMIC.

AND JUST LIKE SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET SERVICE IS TRYING TO GET SUPPORT FOR A LONG TIME FOR THEIR RESIDENTS.

AND NOW WHEN IT'S TIME TO KIND OF SHAKE OUT THE COUCH CUSHIONS FOR MONEY.

THEY'RE WONDERING WHY CAN YOU FIND IT FOR THIS MOMENT?

BUT NOT FOR ONGOING TO THEIR EXISTING RESIDENTS THEY RECEIVE ANY GUARANTEES WELL, THE NEXT A MEASURE THAT THE PAST WAS 1.0, 2 BILLION THAT WILL BE TIF MONEY THAT GO TO EVERYBODY.

>> SO >> WHEN WE DO GOT SOMETHING IN A AND A LOT OF ALDERMAN WHO HAD REJECTED THE MIGRANT.

>> MEASURE APPROVED THIS ONE.

SO IN BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES WERE DELAYED WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO VOTED ON EARLY IN THE WEEK, WHAT CHANGED THE BIG DELAY IN THE ONE POINT BELOW 1.2 BILLION DOLLAR FUNDING WAS THE MAYOR I I WANT DISCRETION TO APPROVE THINGS.

5 MILLION DOLLARS MORE AND A LOT OF ALDERMEN SAID, OH, THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

WE THINK IF IT'S THAT MUCH MONEY, YOU DROP THAT TO 1 MILLION DOLLARS.

IF IT'S A 1 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT, WE WANT TO HAVE SOME SAY IN HOW THAT MONEY IS SPENT.

AND SO THERE WAS A BIG DEBATE ABOUT WHETHER TO APPROVE THAT 1 MILLION OR NOT.

THEY DIDN'T.

THAT DIDN'T PASS COUNCIL VERY DIVIDED.

SO IT PASSED THE WAY THE MAYOR WANTED THEIR 2 BIG WINS FOR THE MAYOR ON THAT TODAY.

2 BIG WINS FOR THE MAYOR AS HE IS GOING TO BE ON CENTER STAGE AS THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION HEADS TO CHICAGO IN 120 DAYS OR SO.

GIVE OR TINA, LET'S TURN TO YOU.

THERE WERE SOME PROMINENT DEMOCRATS THAT WERE >> IN CHICAGO THIS WEEK PREPARING FOR THE DNC.

WHAT DID THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS SITUATION OF MIGRANTS?

PROTESTERS VERY VISIBLE SITUATIONS THAT COULD PUT IT HAMPER IN THEIR PLANS TO HAVE A VERY SMOOTH CONVENTION.

YEAH, WE DID HAVE SOME OF THE TO THE STATES OR THE COUNTRY'S TOP DEMOCRATIC STATE LEADERS.

>> IN CHICAGO THIS WEEK FOR MEETINGS, INTERNAL TOWARD THE UNITED COREY PLACE GOT LAY OF THE LAND.

ALSO RULES.

BUT WE DID ASK THEM, WE SAID, HEY, YOU'RE COMING INTO A CITY WHERE THE MIGRANT CRISIS, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY'LL BE BUSES THAT TO SHOW UP FOR THE UNITED CENTER, WHETHER THE SECURITY PERIMETER IS OR OR PROTESTS INTENTIONAL NEEDLING REPUBLICANS, WE ARE EXPECTING THAT TO THE KIND OF DOWNPLAY THAT THEY YOU KNOW, WE ARE A BIG TENT PARTY AND WE ARE GOING TO WELCOME THESE MIGRANTS JUST AS WE HAVE BEEN.

THERE'S NO THERE'S NO TALK LIKE HOW ARE WE IN A FUND LIKE FUND THE INCOMING ARRIVALS WHICH WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR HOW MANY NO, NO.

REAL TALK ABOUT THAT.

BUT THEY KIND OF DOWNPLAYED.

IT SAID THAT THEY WERE UNITED, THAT THEY WERE READY FOR EVERYTHING.

AND THEY ALSO GAZA AND THE PROTESTERS.

AND THEY ALSO SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO LET THEM PROTEST.

WE'RE GOING TO LET THEM HAVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

IT MIGHT BE A REPEAT OF WHAT WE SAW EARLIER THIS WEEK.

I THINK HAS SAW THE PROTESTERS ON MONDAY POTENTIALLY.

YEAH, I THINK AS OUTSIDE OBSERVER TO THE SITUATION IT IT'S JUST IT'S HARD TO HAVE CONFIDENCE.

AND AND THAT WHEN, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE SEEN HOW >> THE CITY HAS HANDLED PROTESTS IN THE PAST.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF CONFIDENCE AND THE FACT THAT THEY HANDLE THIS POSITIVELY WHEN THE DNC IS HERE.

BUT I THINK THEY DIDN'T HANDLE IT POSITIVELY.

IF YOU LOOK AT THEY LET THE PROTESTERS HAVE THEIR SAY AND AND THEN THEY GOT SHUTTLE THAT THAT THEY WILL DO THAT REST THEM TO LET THEM PROTEST HOUR THE REST OF IT.

I DID ASK HIM, I SAID.

>> YOU KNOW WHERE IT'S NOT JUST THE SECURITY PARAMETER.

IT'S NOT THE CURRENT PLACE UNITED CENTER, THIS AREA WHERE THEY THINK PROTESTS ARE GOING GO IN A CIRCLE AND PROTESTS THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

WE'RE IN HUGE CITY.

WE HAVE HOW MANY NEIGHBORHOODS, 77 NEIGHBORHOODS.

WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE PEOPLE WILL PROTEST.

SO THEY NEED TO BE READY FOR THAT TO WHAT, INCLUDING BLOCKING OFF ACCESS TO A MAJOR AIRPORT.

IS THAT GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT CHICAGO LET'S WHAT WHAT MIGHT THAT HOW MANY PEOPLE MISS THEIR WELL, THE CONVENTION PEOPLE YESTERDAY SAID, LOOK, SURE IT WAS INCONVENIENT.

PROTESTERS BLOCKED O'HARE FOR A WHILE AND THEN POLICE DISPERSE THEM.

AND YOU KNOW, IT'S OVER.

I THINK.

THEY'RE THINKING IT IS PEOPLE JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT THERE, PROTESTERS AND IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND IT WILL BE IN CONTROL.

GUESS.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE THAT DNC OFFICIALS ARE AWARE OF IS THIS IS A CITY THAT HAS A TREMENDOUS LEGACY OF PROTEST MEAN 1968.

NONE OF US WERE AROUND THEN.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE WORLD WAS WATCHING.

AND AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK HAS ONLY GROWN.

I MEAN, THE LABOR MOVEMENT IS VERY STRONG.

A LOT OF PROGRESSIVE PROTEST MOVEMENTS ARE REALLY STRONG HERE.

>> AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COMING TO TOWN FOR THAT.

EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T.

I THINK THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE OF PROTESTERS, THEY'RE WELL ORGANIZED.

IF THEY KNOW THE CITY, THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW HOW TO BE EFFECTIVE AND HOW TO BE SEEN.

AND I WOULD JUST THINK THAT OFFICIALS SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT UNDERESTIMATE THAT, BUT ALSO RESPECT THAT KNOW THAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO PUT TOGETHER A PROTEST CONVENTION IS CHAIRED BY DOMINION MOORE, WHO IS A CHICAGO NATIVE WHO WAS WITH JESSE JACKSON'S RAINBOW PUSH ORGANIZATION WHO VERY MUCH UNDERSTANDS AND RESPECTS THE PROTESTS SO I.

>> I THINK THAT THEY THEY UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S PART OF THE CONVENTION.

>> I THINK THIS THIS DOES EVERYONE'S POINT HERE, ALSO RAISE QUESTIONS IN TERMS OF CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT WHICH IS WE ARE TRAINING FOR THIS.

WE ASSURE YOU THAT WE BELIEVE IN FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, BUT KIM SPEAK MORE ABOUT THAT LEGACY, PARTICULARLY IT HAS JUST OVER A WEEK NOW SINCE THE RELEASE OF THAT VIDEO THAT SHOWED 26 YEAR-OLD DEXTER READ SHOOTING A CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER AND OFFICERS RESPONDING WITH REALLY BARRAGE OF FIRE.

THE GUNFIRE THAT IS THAT KILLED HIM.

SO INVESTIGATION INTO THAT IS UNDER WAY.

BUT HAS THIS EXPOSED ABOUT THE INVESTIGATIONS PROCESS WHEN THERE IS A POLICE INVOLVED SHOOTING?

WELL, A LOT OF IT IS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF WHAT'S NEW IS LARRY SNELLING WAS SAYING WE ARE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING INTO THE SUITE WHERE WE HAVE A SYSTEM NOW.

WE'RE TRACKING.

>> COMPLAINTS YOU NO PROBLEMS WITH OFFICERS.

BUT THEN ONCE REPORTERS DIVE INTO THAT FURTHER, YOU FIND THAT THAT PROCESS, THAT SYSTEM IS VERY NEW.

IT PROBABLY DIDN'T CATCH SOME OF THESE MORE RECENT COMPLAINTS.

THIS REALLY TRACKS WITH SOMETHING THAT WE'VE SEEN WITH CPD FOR THEY GET SOME BAD PRESS.

SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THEY ANNOUNCE REFORMS.

THEY ANNOUNCED NEW PROCESSES AND MEASURES.

AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TIME ACTUALLY SHOW THE RECEIPTS OF THAT, THINGS HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN WORKING AS WELL AS THEY SHOULD.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL UNDER A FEDERAL MONITOR AFTER THE CRIME MCDONALD SHOOTING AND WE WANT UNDER DOJ INVESTIGATION AND THAT HAS JUST FILLED WITH SETBACKS AND DELAYS.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THE CPD SAYS, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE PUBLIC DOES HAVE A RIGHT TO ASK FOR SOME ACTUAL DOCUMENTATION OF, YOU KNOW, WHERE'S THE PROOF?

LIKE WHAT?

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

LEGACY THIS PROCESS?

AND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES BECAUSE 1968.

YOU CAN GO TO THE CHICAGO HISTORY MUSEUM AND SEE THE ARTIFACTS OF OF, YOU KNOW WHAT THE KIND OF AGGRESSIVE POLICING LOOKS LIKE HALF A CENTURY AGO.

YEAH, IT CERTAINLY NOTHING NEW AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE CPD WOULD BE IN PARTICULARLY HIGH ALERT AGAIN, WILL MENTION THE DNC, BUT ALSO A FEDERAL MONITOR.

>> ANYTHING TO BE MADE OF SUPERINTENDENT LARRY SNELLING.

HOWEVER, HIS ACCUSATIONS, IT SAID THE HEAD OF THE CIVILIAN OFFICE OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY COPA IS IT'S OTHERWISE KNOWN.

INJURED PERSON HAS BEEN 2 IN FRONT ON THIS THAT SHE HAS GOTTEN SORT OF AHEAD OF THE INVESTIGATION BEFORE IT MAY OFFICERS ARE BEING JUDGED IN BY PUBLIC OPINION BEFORE THEY'VE ACTUALLY BEEN INTERVIEW HIM PUTS HER TEAM HISTORICALLY THAT'S THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SUPERINTENDENT AND COAL-FIRED LOVERS.

INVEST IN THOSE TYPES OF SHOOTINGS LIKE HEAT.

THERE'S THE SUPPOSED TO BE THE LEADER TO SAY I SUPPORT YOU.

KEEP DOING YOUR JOB.

WE YOU KNOW IF YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG, WE'RE GOING TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ALSO TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE YOUR BACK.

SO I THINK THAT'S JUST >> THE HISTORICAL RELATIONSHIP PERHAPS INSPIRING CONFIDENCE MAYBE WITHIN THE RANKS OF CPD.

SOMETHING THAT APPARENTLY WAS NOT.

>> MUCH TO BE HAD WITH LAST SUPERINTENDENT.

KIM, DO YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN THIS IS ALSO SOMETHING PEOPLE HAVE WANTING TO SEE DIFFERENT WHEN IT COMES TO A POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY OF POLICE OVERSIGHT BOARD.

THEY DON'T WANT THEM TO BE A RUBBER STAMP THAT JUST AGREES WITH EVERYTHING THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DOES.

SO IF THEY DO GET A LITTLE BIT OF PUSHBACK, IF THEY'RE FEELING THE HEAT A LITTLE MORE, THAT'S BECAUSE THIS IS THE OVERSIGHT BOARD THAT CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR FOR A LONG TIME.

>> IT WAS MOVED TO ANOTHER CITY AGENCY.

AND THIS IS ONE THAT ACTUALLY THAT THE GOVERNOR GET SOME SAY HE AS YOU HEARD EARLIER, THE GOVERNOR HAS, IN FACT, BEEN MAKING HE'S AT PEACE KNOWING THAT IS CALLING FOR A CHANGE IN CTA LEADERSHIP.

>> TRANSIT ADVOCATES HAVE REALLY MADE IT A RALLYING CRY TO OUST DORVAL CARTER.

YOU EVEN HAVE THE TRIBUNE, CRANES AS WELL WRITING OP-EDS THAT ARE CALLING FOR CARTER'S RESIGNATION.

BUT MAYOR JOHNSON STICKING BY HIM, SHE WHY?

WELL, BECAUSE CTA TRAINS ARE BUS A CERTAIN LATE THERE.

THEY DON'T SHOW UP.

>> A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH STILL RECOVERING FROM COVID AND THE FACT THAT FEWER PEOPLE ARE GOING DOWNTOWN AND THAT'S AFFECTING THE SAYS THE TRAIN SYSTEM, THE BUS SYSTEMS AND ALSO THEY YOU KNOW, AN EMPLOYEE.

THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH EMPLOYEES.

SO IT'S HARD TO GET YOU KNOW, EMPLOYEES INTO INTO THE RED LINE.

THAT'S THE BEGINNING.

THAT'S WHERE A TRAIN CONDUCTOR START IS ON.

THE RED LINE IS HARD TO GET NEW FOLKS IN THERE AND THAT MEANS THINGS ARE SLOWER AND THEY, YOU KNOW, IT TAKES AWHILE.

AND AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENING ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

CITIES, BIG CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE SEEING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS.

SO EVEN THOUGH FOLKS ARE UPSET AT DORVAL CARTER DORVAL CARTER ISN'T THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

WELL, TINA, THE GOVERNOR DOESN'T OFTEN GET OUT IN FRONT ON ISSUES LIKE THIS WAS THIS.

>> CALCULATED.

WHAT SORT OF INFORMATION DO YOU HAVE IN TERMS OF HIS CALLING FOR A CHANGE?

THERE'S THIS EXPOSE AND NEW RIFT PERHAPS BETWEEN HE AND MAYOR JOHNSON?

I THINK YES, BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN PRETTY SILENT ABOUT THE CTA.

HE KIND OF JUST LIKE MAYOR JOHNSON TAKE ALL THE HEAT FOR.

>> YOU KNOW, POST PANDEMIC PEOPLE SLEEPING ON THE TRAINS ARE DRUGS, ERS, PEOPLE SMOKING ALL COMPLAINTS EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE HE KIND OF JUST WAS QUITE ABOUT THAT.

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS WEEK HE IS VOICING HIS OPINION AND THAT HE DOES THINK THAT DOORBELL.

CARTER SHOULD GO HE DOES APPOINT 3 MEMBERS, THE CTA BOARD.

SO HE DOES HAVE A SAY.

SO IT IS REALLY INTERESTING, AS YOU SAID, THAT DOING THIS WHEN HE'S DOING IT.

HE'S DOING IT WHEN LIKE THE PUBLIC OPINION IS PRETTY STRONG.

THAT COLONEL CARD TO GO.

AND I DON'T KNOW.

GOING TO SEE THAT FROM BRITAIN, JOHNSON ANYTIME SOON.

SEEMS THAT HE WAS ASKED ABOUT IT HIM MY UNDERSTANDING AT A PRESS CONFERENCE JUST MINUTES AGO AND SAYS SO THAT HE DOESN'T TALK ABOUT PERSONAL PERSONNEL DECISIONS IN PUBLIC.

THAT SEEMS TO CONTINUE TO BE STANDING BY CARTER.

ANYTHING THAT EITHER OF YOU WANT TO ADD ANY?

I DON'T KNOW YOUR FREQUENT CTA GET IT RIGHT.

I THINK PEOPLE IN THE CITY JUST WANT THE CTA TO MATCH THE GREATNESS OF THE CITY.

RIGHT.

LIKE PEOPLE ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT CHICAGO AND THEY WANT THE CTA TO BE AVAILABLE ON IN.

>> RUN SMOOTHLY IN AND MATCH THE GREATNESS OF THE CITY.

NOW LET'S MOVE ON EBITDA.

KIM, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT NOT THE ONLY WONDER PART OF THAT IS WHO MIGHT HAVE HIS >> JOB, PERHAPS KIND OF SORT OF ON THE SKIDS.

A CHICAGO RESIDENT IS TRYING TO GET VOTERS TO SIGN ON TO A BALLOT INITIATIVE THAT WOULD SET UP A MECHANISM TO RECALL THE MAYOR OF CHICAGO.

HE SAYS THAT, YES, THIS DOES HAVE TO DO WITH MAYOR JOHNSON RECALLING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE SEEING ANY TIME SOON.

I I DON'T REALLY KNOW.

I MEAN, WE KNOW WE'VE SEEN THIS PLACES LIKE CALIFORNIA WHERE THEY CAN RECALL THE GOVERNOR NEAR CHICAGO HAS NOT HAD A MECHANISM.

>> TO RECALL THE MAYOR OF THIS IS WHY IT'S BEING INTRODUCED NOW.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I I DON'T KNOW.

I WANT TO HEAR FROM TEEN ON THIS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THIS IS REALLY, YOU KNOW, I WAS SURPRISED ACTUALLY THE COVERAGE OF THIS THAT IT WAS KIND OF LIKE IN THE BACK OF THE PAPER.

I THOUGHT MORE PEOPLE WOULD BE LIKE MORE RILED UP BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE UPSET AT THE MAYOR FOR VARIOUS THINGS.

>> SO I DO THINK IT'S INDICATIVE OF A CERTAIN VOICE IN OUR CITY BELIEVE IT WAS A LAKEVIEW PERSON.

SO SOME ISSUES IN HIS AREA THAT HE'S REALLY UPSET ABOUT.

HE FEELS THAT CAN HAVE A VOICE AND SHE THE MAYOR PRETTY DISMISSIVE.

HE HE KIND OF LAUGHED IT OFF, BUT IT'S HARD TO LAUGH IT OFF.

WHEN YOU DO HAVE A FORMER GOVERNOR PAT QUINN BEHIND IT.

AND THIS KIND OF AN ISSUE THAT PAT QUINN IS PASSIONATE ABOUT IN >> REFORMS LIKE THIS.

SO I CAN SEE WHY HE'S BEHIND IT.

I DON'T KNOW HIS CASE, NOT PERHAPS AIMED AT JOHNSON DOING THE JOB GETTING IN.

BUT THE BIG PICTURE OF HAVING THIS KIND OF OPTION FOR VOTERS, HE THINKS REGULAR FOLKS SHOULD HAVE AN OPTION TOO.

YOU KNOW, 2 THUMBS UP OR THUMBS DOWN ON ON THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN OFFICE OR THAT YOU'RE NOT WRONG.

IS I GUESS LEGISLATORS GET TO HAVE THEIR SAY AND THEY DID WHEN THEY WENT WELL INTO SESSION LATE LAST NIGHT.

>> AND VOTED TO EXTEND UNTIL 2027.

THAT'S THE ILLINOIS HOUSE.

THIS IS NOT A LAW YET, ALTHOUGH IS THE GOVERNOR HAS GIVEN THE THUMBS UP TO THIS.

A MORATORIUM CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL CLOSURES.

NOW THIS COMES DESPITE HUGE PUSHBACK FROM THE CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION AND FROM MAYOR JOHNSON'S APPOINTED CPS BOARD.

SO TINA, YOU LISTEN TO THE DEBATE.

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

IT WAS VERY REPRESENTATIVE MARGARET CROOK, A CHICAGO STATE REP WHO WEEKS AGO SAID SHE WANTED TO HAVE A BILL THAT WOULD HELP PREVENT CLOSURES OF SELECTIVE ENROLLMENT SCHOOLS.

>> AND THAT WAS STEMMING FROM SOME FEARS THAT PEOPLE HAVE THAT THEY WILL BE CHANGING SELECTIVE ENROLLMENT SCHOOLS, THAT THEY WILL BE THAT THE EMPHASIS MAYOR BRENT BRENNAN, JOHNSON'S BOARD WILL BE TO HELP NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS AND THAT THAT MAY TAKE AWAY SOME MONEY FROM SLUTMAN ROMAN.

SO SHE STARTED THIS BILL TO HELP PREVENT THOSE SCHOOLS ARE BEING CLOSED.

AND YES, THE CTU IS VERY UPSET TO BUILD.

A FEDERATION OF TEACHERS WAS VERY UPSET.

THE BILL THAT PASSED YESTERDAY NOW INCLUDES ALL SCHOOL, SELECTIVE ENROLLMENT AND ALSO HOW PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

SO THAT JUST MEANS THAT THEY CANNOT CLOSE THOSE SCHOOLS BEFORE AN ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD IS IN PLACE.

BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH THE CTU CALLING THIS REPRESENTATIVE RECESS, REPRESENTATIVE CURTIS HARBOR ON THE HE SAID, YOU KNOW, SHE'S NOT MY BEST FRIEND, BUT SHE'S NOT A RACIST.

LOOK, YOU CAN'T JUST GO CALLING PEOPLE RACIST.

I DO BELIEVE THAT CTU AND THE ILLINOIS FEDERATION OF TEACHERS WERE CALLING MEMBERS TO TELL THEM NOT TO VOTE FOR THIS ONE IS REALLY A THING UP FOR THE RUNNERS A THERE'S A LOT OF DRAMA, A LOT OF LIKE JUST CALLING.

REPRESENTATIVE RECESS ONCE WAS A DEAL.

WHEN HIM, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN AS THE CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION HAS ISSUED?

REALLY IT'S OPENING SALVO IS IT IS BARGAINING FOR A NEW CONTRACT.

THEY'VE GOT.

>> A LOT OF DEMANDS.

CAN YOU SPEAK TO EITHER THOSE DEMANDS ARE ALSO JUST WHAT THIS MEANS FOR JOHNSON'S AGENDA TO SORT FRAME HOW SCHOOLS ARE BUDGETED IN LIFTING UP OF NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS.

WEDDINGS IS GOING TO BE REALLY INTERESTING TO WATCH BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAME UP WHEN JOHNSON WON THE ELECTION.

HE, YOU KNOW, HOW HAS THIS HISTORY WITH CTU?

HE KIND OF CAME WORKING WITH THEM.

HE HAS A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM THAT SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN SUCH A LONG TIME.

SO THERE IS A LOT OF HOPE THAT.

>> YOU KNOW, THIS CONTRACT COULD GO DIFFERENTLY, MAYBE BE A LITTLE LESS ADVERSARIAL, THE PROCESS THAN IT'S BEEN.

BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING TO ME IS, YOU KNOW, THE CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION, WHEN I LOOK AT IT FROM A NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE, WE MIGHT ALL BE A LITTLE MORE USED TO IT BECAUSE WE LIVE HERE.

BUT NATIONALLY, THEY REALLY ARE SUCH A UNIQUE UNION BECAUSE THEY HAVE REALLY TRANSFORMED.

YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO USE OUR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING TO ASK FOR THINGS THAT REALLY WE'RE NOT PART OF THE BARGAINING PROCESS FOR TEACHERS.

OBVIOUSLY THEY WANTED CERTAIN SAFETY PROVISIONS.

YOU KNOW, I'M BETTER SALARIES.

THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE BIG THINGS AS FAR AS ASKING FOR HOUSING.

I MEAN, THAT'S HUGE.

BUT THEY'VE MADE SOME PRETTY COMPELLING ARGUMENTS THAT THIS IS ALL PART OF, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THEIR WORKPLACE.

THEY HAVE TO HAVE A WORKPLACE THAT IS, YOU KNOW, STABLE.

AND AND, YOU KNOW, INVESTED IN AND THAT CRUDE'S HAVING FAMILIES THAT HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CAN'T TEACH A CHILD.

COULD BE INTERESTING.

THEY WANT TO MAKE IT PUBLIC HEARINGS LIKE THE THEY HAVE NEGOTIATIONS TO BE PUBLIC SO WE CAN ALL WATCH THE UNION OF DIFFERENT TO BARGAINING SESSIONS WHERE WE'RE STANDING OUTSIDE THAT BUILDING FOR A LONG TIME.

YEAH, I WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTING TO BE INITIALLY IN BAD OKAY.

I WANT TO BRIEFLY GET OUT INTO WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS PRETTY HISTORIC, AN EXTRAORDINARY KIM AND THIS IS, OF COURSE, A >> PRESIDENT, A FORMER ONE AND POSSIBLY INCOMING PRESIDENT AS WELL.

THAT IS ON TRIAL.

SO HOW DO YOU COVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS SORT OF THAT THE SPECIAL SPECTACLE THAT IS DONALD TRUMP AND ALSO THE HISTORIC NATURE OF SOMETHING ALONG THESE LINES.

YOU GET THERE REALLY EARLY.

I COVERED THE TRUMP, EUGENE CARROLL, DEFAMATION TRIAL LAST YEAR FROM THE SAME COURTHOUSE IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK.

KNOW THIS IS A COURTHOUSE THAT IS FAMOUS FOR HAVING SOME OF THE MOST HIGH-PROFILE CASES IN THE COUNTRY, BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS MEAN WHEN HE IS ON TRIAL.

YOU HAVE A WHOLE DIFFERENT CONSIDERATION FROM SECRET SERVICE TO, YOU KNOW, STAFFING.

>> AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS ALSO THIS IS FEDERAL.

SO YOU HAVE FOR, YOU KNOW, YOU YOU DO THAT.

SO YOU DON'T SEE CAMERAS IN THE COURTROOM.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE GETTING THE COURTROOM SKETCHES.

THE PEOPLE THERE ARE REPORTERS IN THE COURTROOM AND IT'S A LIMITED POOL.

SO WHAT YOU SEE REPORTED OUT EITHER FROM REPORTERS IN THE COURTROOM OR WHO ARE IN THE OVERFLOW ROOM AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING FROM THEM IS THAT THIS IS JUST IT'S WEIRD BECAUSE THIS IS CRIMINAL DEFENDANT WHO EVERYBODY IN THE JURY KNOWS THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE, YOU KNOW, IMPARTIAL OR KIND OF HOLD THEIR FEELINGS AND THEN BE SELECTED FOR THE JURY.

BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS THOSE AND MOST OF THEM PROBABLY HAVE SOME OPINION ON HIM.

WE'LL BE FOLLOWING.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE TO GET TO YOU.

ANNIE HONORED UPWARD TO THE CHICAGO CHICAGO'S WNBA TEAM IS GETTING A COUPLE OF NEW PLAYERS.

WHO ARE THEY AND HOW BIG A DEAL IS THIS?

>> YEAH, THIS IS SIGNIFICANT.

CAMILLA CARDOSO SELECTED NUMBER 3 OVERALL AND JEWELRY SELECTED 7TH OVERALL AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT BOTH OF THEM NEED TO DEVELOP THEIR GAME SIGNIFICANTLY ON TO MAKE A DENT IN THE WNBA.

THEY'RE BOTH BRINGING EXTRAORDINARY STAR POWER.

THIS CLASS IS FILLED WITH ELITE TALENT TO START WITH CAITLIN CLARK, WHO IS JUST A TRANSFORMATIVE PLAYER.

BUT RIGHT AFTER HER ARE CAMILLA, AN ANGEL TRULY THE SKY SELECTED, ARGUABLY THE 2 BIGGEST STARS IN THE DRAFT.

SECOND TO THE NUMBER ONE OVERALL PICK IN CAITLIN CLARK.

AND SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT DOES FOR A FRANCHISE AND A LEAGUE THAT IS IS IS TRYING TO GAIN MORE ATTENTION.

IT JUST NOT ENOUGH CAN BE IN HAPPENING, BY THE WAY, INTERSTATE TOOK ON THE MONIKER SHY BARBIE.

THAT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT I BY YOUR PARTY IS NOW CALLING HERSELF A SHY BARBIE.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE SKY AND NOT JUST ON THE COURT BUT OFF THE COURT.

AS YOU NOTED, TICKET SALES PRACTICE SPACE.

WE HAVEN'T.

BUT I I SHOULD SAY, I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO THE TEAM YET.

>> ABOUT HOW IT'S IMPACTED TICKET SALES.

BUT AS FAR AS SOME MEDIA GOES, THEY'VE ALREADY GAINED SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS ON THEIR SOCIAL CHANNELS.

AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TO PRACTICE SPACE, I MEAN, WE KNOW THIS IS A HOT BUTTON TOPIC.

THE SKY CURRENTLY PRACTICES OUT OF THE PUBLIC REC CENTER.

>> AIRFIELD.

SO, YES, THEY ARE THE CHICAGO SKY, BUT SOME CALL THEM THE DEERFIELD SKY BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED.

AND RIGHT A PRACTICE FACILITY IS NECESSARY.

WE SAW THE LAS VEGAS SAYS OPEN UP 67 MILLION DOLLARS PRACTICE FACILITY.

THE STORM OPENED UP THEIR PRACTICE FACILITY.

64 MILLION DOLLARS PRACTICE FACILITY THIS YEAR.

THE LIBERTY THEY PRACTICE ON SHARE PRACTICED SPACE WITH THE BROOKLYN TO DEERFIELD, BUT THAT PUBLIC REC CENTER JUST DOES NOT STACK THINK ABOUT PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES AND WHAT THEY REQUIRE A PUBLIC REC CENTER.

JUST JUST ISN'T IT FOR PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES IN TERMS OF WE HAVE A CHANCE THAT THEY'RE MOVING INTO MAYBE A BIGGER SPACE AND MORE FOLKS CAN SEE HIM THE UNITED CENTER.

PERHAPS I KNOW THERE'S WHAT A PETITION TRYING THERE'S 2 HOME GAMES AGAINST THE FEVER, JUNE 23RD AND AUGUST 30TH IN THE JUNE 23RD 8.

>> IS OCCUPIED ON THE UNITED CENTER IS UNAVAILABLE THAT DAY.

CURRENTLY AUGUST 30TH.

I MEAN, MAYBE WE COULD SEE THE SKY MOVE OVER THERE.

AFTER A CONVERSATION WITH THE SKY, THEY SAID CURRENTLY THERE IS NO PLAN TO MOVE THAT GAME.

BUT THAT COULD ALWAYS CHANGE.

DOES IT MATTER HOW WELL THE SKY DO WITH THESE PLAYERS ON THE COURT OR IS THIS SUCH A BIGGER CONVERSATION DOWN?

YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I THINK THIS SEASON SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SKY IS A REBUILD SEASON.

THEY HAVE A FIRSTOR COACH AND THEY HAVE A BRAND NEW GENERAL MANAGER.

AND SO THAT'S THE POINT ABOUT THESE DRAFT PICKS US THESE DRAFT PICKS WERE NOT BROUGHT INTO IMMEDIATELY PROPEL THE SKY INTO CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION.

THIS IS A YEAR WHERE THEY CAN TAKE TO DEVELOP.

THIS ROSTER IS IS FILLED WITH ROLE PLAYERS.

ESSENTIALLY THEY TRADED AWAY THEIR FRANCHISE STARRING CLEAR CALM SO IT'S AN EMPTY SLATE FOR THEM.

AND I THINK THAT BENEFITS ROOKIES LIKE CAMILLA, AN ANGEL QUITE WELL BECAUSE, AGAIN, OPPORTUNITY IS THERE FOR THE TAKING.

WHAT THEY DO WITH IT IS UP TO THEM.

AND I WANT MOVE BACK NOW TO POLITICS.

I THINK THAT UNLESS I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE TICKETS ELSE I IF YOU'RE GOING TO TRIAL THAT I MAY BE ABLE TO WATCH, IT BE THAT OF HOUSE SPEAKER, FORMER.

>> HOUSE SPEAKER MICHAEL MADIGAN THIS WEEK.

KIM, WE'VE GOT ABOUT 30 SECONDS.

US SUPREME COURT HEARD A CASE THAT COULD HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE SPEAKER'S FUTURE.

WHAT THAT SUPREME COURT ARE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT CONSTITUTES CORRUPTION.

YEAH, IT'S INTERESTING THEY'RE WEIGHING IN ON THIS.

IT'S NOT OUR IT'S NOT OUR POLITICIANS FOR ONCE.

IT'S OUR NEIGHBORS.

>> OVER IN INDIANA, INDIANA, THIS IS THE MAYOR OF PORTAGE, INDIANA, WHO'S GOT HIS YOU KNOW, CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION CASE THAT YOU HAVE THE SUPREME COURT'S GOING TO LOOK AT THAT AND IT'S GOING TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SOME DETERMINATIONS ON WHAT CORRUPTION KIND OF IF YOU LIKE ALL OF US CHICAGO HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT WE THINK IT IS.

WE WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE THAT CONVERSATION ANOTHER DAY.
