A proposal to create an elected board of Chicagoans to oversee the Chicago Police Department is likely to pass easily, now that it has the backing of a coalition of community groups and Mayor Lori Lightfoot, several aldermen told “Chicago Tonight” on Monday.
Thanks to our sponsors:
The first test of the agreement is set for 5 p.m. Tuesday, when the City Council’s Public Safety Committee will consider the proposal. If the panel endorses the proposal, a final vote could come during Wednesday’s full City Council meeting and end years of intense debate.
