Chicago City Council

Chicago’s 50 aldermen have until mid-September to decide whether or not they will be taking pay raises this year, including some officials who would be taking the biggest salary bump in more than a decade if they agree to the increase, according to a local report.

Chicago Ald. Carrie Austin (34th) resigned Tuesday as chairman of the Committee on Contracting Oversight and Equity. 

Former Chicago Ald. Ricardo Munoz will reportedly plead guilty to federal fraud charges.

Chicago City Council has given the green light for a plan to transform the site of the Michael Reese Hospital campus on the South Side.

Without one vote to spare, the City Council on Wednesday approved creation of a new Chicago police oversight commission that will eventually include 66 newly-elected members.

A new Boys & Girls Club in Chicago is one step closer to reality.

"We cannot continue down this path. He must be fired," Chicago Alderman Ray Lopez said of top cop David Brown.

New surveillance video shows a mass shooting unfold Thursday night on Chicago’s South Side. A one-month-old baby girl was shot in the head and critically injured.

Police Superintendent David Brown will outline his safety plans at a news conference today at police headquarters.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said she is being judged in ways her two previous white, male predecessors were not.

With nearly 2,000 people shot in Chicago so far this year – and more than 340 killed – a growing group of aldermen are demanding accountability.
