More details from @Borderless_Mag on the death of a 5-year boy at a migrant shelter. On Sunday, the boy had a 100 degree fever and was convulsing, according to a migrant’s account. “There’s a lot of illnesses here, and they’re trying to hide it.” borderlessmag.org/2023/12/18/5-d…
Just days after Illinois Gov. Pritzker shut down a proposed shelter due to health concerns, Venezuelan migrants living in the Pilsen shelter say they are being treated “like dogs.’’ Read @Borderless_Mag's latest: borderlessmag.org/2023/12/14/inv…

Big from @ad_quig: Three massive TIF districts that expired in 2021 were on track to release ~$140M in surplus revenue to schools, parks & the city's general fund. Instead, they were funneled into the Lincoln Yards & 78 areas for unrealized infra projects: chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-li…

It's not nothing to have the transit agency of the country's 3rd largest city say homelessness is not a crime as they answer a rider's genuine question.
It’s not a crime to be homeless. The CTA understands that for too many people, our system—particularly our rail lines that run 24 hours a day—can become a shelter of last resort.
Huge news: The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation has become the first federally recognized tribe to get a portion of their land back in Illinois. Illinois now has tribal lands.
Important news today: all federal, state, and local government agencies have remedied their existing #FOIA violations and committed to a culture of transparency for the future.

Trains and buses are often delayed and dirty, yet the CTA's oversight board rarely provides actual oversight. The governor & mayor pick the board members. But for years they've filled the transit board w their political allies instead of people who know something about transit.
The CTA board has been a plum position for political insiders but should that be the case when the system has struggled to rebound? How are people appointed? And why aren't there any experts on the board? I try to answer these questions and more. blockclubchicago.org/2024/03/06/the…
