John Arena

A concrete shortage and an bigger-than-expected sewer has delayed the traffic-snarling project.

Ald. John Arena led the Progressive Reform Caucus in opposing Mayor Rahm Emanuel most often.

Arena, elected in 2011 by a razor-thin margin, faces three challengers.

No objections were filed to any of the candidates' nominating petitions, elections officials said.

City officials have already approved a permit for a dispensary on the same block.

The annual event will feature a holiday sing-a-long.

The workshop is scheduled for 6 p.m. Dec. 10 at the Coperincus Center.

John Arena, Michelle Baert, Michael Diaz and John Garrido are running for 45th Ward alderman.

City officials approved plans for a dispensary at 4758 N. Milwaukee Ave.

Ald. John Arena was just one of four aldermen to vote against Mayor Rahm Emanuel's budget.

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

The home, where officials said residents were having sex in public, is one of many filled by squatters.

Michael S. Diaz, an attorney working for the state, is the fourth candidate in the 45th Ward race.

Three of the eight monitors announced in July by Mayor Rahm Emanuel will be installed in the suburbs.

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