Joe Moreno

Some call it a campaign stunt, but Moreno says, "We need to do all we can to supplement city services."

Jabs and interjections made for a lively, spirited debate as candidates talked issues.

Ald. Joe Moreno will host a public Congress Theater tour Saturday, Jan. 24 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Violators can be fined between $200-$500 for each illegal sign, according to city law.

Aldermen said the CHA is "sitting on" a $440 million surplus worth more than 62,000 housing vouchers.

After years of turmoil, the theater is set for a major renovation project, according to Ald. Joe Moreno.

Latinos, campaign donations, support for Rahm and police protection were among the issues.

Protesters called for Mayor Rahm Emanuel's support, a hearing and a vote in favor of reparations.

The City Council votes at a "special meeting" Tuesday to raise it to $13 an hour over five years.

Six contenders are also running in the sprawling 2nd Ward.

Aldermen pushing for a $15-an-hour minimum wage fear the state could cap it instead at $10.10.

Business interests argued against an increase in the minimum wage, while workers supported it.

A vote on the 11- and 15-story towers  was automatically deferred Tuesday ahead of community input. 

Logan Square and Humboldt Park will likely get 10 new affordable apartment buildings.

Backers claimed the support of a majority in the City Council and asked the mayor to "step up."
