The Chicago Police Dep-artment has reported a 9percent decrease in overallcrime citywide year-to-datethrough July 31, but hasexperienced a 51 percentincrease in murders and a47 percent increase in shoot-ing incidents over the sametime period since last year.
The overall crime cate-gory includes murder,criminal sexual assault,robbery, aggravated bat-tery, burglary, theft andmotor vehicle theft, ac-cording to police.
The number of shootingsreported between Jan. 1 andJuly 31 was 1,783 this year,compared to 1,210 in 2019,1,360 in 2018 and 1,687 in2017. The number of shoot-ing victims reported bet-ween Jan. 1 and July 31 was2,036 this year, compared to1,480 in 2019, 1,618 in 2018and 2,036 in 2017. The num-ber of murders reportedbetween Jan. 1 and July 31was 440 this year, comparedto 290 in 2019, 327 in 2018and 410 in 2017, police said.
The number of shootingsreported for the month ofJuly was 406 this year, com-pared to 232 in 2019, 264 in2018 and 324 in 2017.
The number of shootingvictims reported for themonth of July was 584 thisyear, compared to 308 in
2019, 323 in 2018 and 400 in2017.
The number of murdersreported for the month ofJuly was 105 this year, com-pared to 44 in 2019, 64 in2018 and 78 in 2017, policesaid.
The department said thatthroughout July it continuedto manage incidents ofheightened civil unrestthroughout the city whilecombating violent crime.
CPD said that while thenumber of year-to-dateshooting incidents and mur-ders have increased, overallcitywide crime remains atlower levels than the sameperiod last year, according toa press release.
Police said that 16 out ofChicago’s 22 police districtsare at 20-year lows for allindex crimes, including the1st (Central), 3rd (GrandCrossing), 4th (SouthChicago), 5th (Calumet), 6th(Gresham), 7th (Englewood),8th (Chicago Lawn), 9th(Deering), 14th (Shakes-peare), 16th (JeffersonPark), 17th (Albany Park),18th (Near North), 19th(Town Hall), 20th (Lincoln),22nd (Morgan Park) and25th (Grand Central) policedistricts.
These reductions in over-all crime were driven by a 26percent decline in theft, and
a 19 percent decline in crim-inal sexual assault throughJuly 31, compared to thesame year-to-date period in2019, according to police.
As part of efforts to com-bat the rise in crime, theChicago Police Departmenthas continued focusingefforts on seizing and recov-ering illegal guns to preventthe next shooting or murder,according to police.
Officers have recoveredmore than 5,600 guns thisyear and have made morethan 3,700 gun arrests, up 5percent from 2019, policesaid.
CPD has also invested inramping up its communitypolicing efforts alongsidecrime-fighting operationsthrough the newly createdcommunity safety team,according to police.
Led by commander Mi-chael Barz, the team con-sists of nearly 300 officerswho will not only bedeployed to hot spot areas inthe city but will partnerwith local block clubs, faith-based organizations andcommunity leaders to partic-ipate in neighborhood peacemarches, prayer circles,Operation Clean missions,food drives, COVID-19 re-source distributions andmore, police said.
“As we continue movingmore officers into the dis-tricts and closer to our com-munities, we have also beenfocused on creating teamsthat can address violentcrime head-on within ourmost vulnerable neighbor-hoods,” CPD superintendentDavid Brown said. “Our offi-cers will engage directlywith residents. We will heartheir concerns and continueto work in partnership withthem as part of an all-hands-on-deck effort to curb theviolence in our communi-ties.”

by RUSS STEWARTIt is said that all good things must
come to an end. It is said in somepolitical circles that Mike Madigan’s36-year reign as speaker of theIllinois House is now and hasalways been a good thing. It is saidin other circles that it must come toan end and that it is a bad thing.
One thing is for sure, his tenurehas been a good thing for many,including sitting Democratic staterepresentatives, trade unions andlawyers, and it is not going to cometo an end anytime soon. The 78-yearold Madigan may hang onto hispower deep into the 2020s. He saidin news reports that he isn’t goinganywhere.
The abstemious speaker has a fewenduring (and irritating to some)serendipitous quirks: He eats anapple a day for lunch. He has no cellphone or at least he didn’t for thelongest time. And he never sends e-mails to anybody. The feds havedropped a subpoena on the speak-er’s office, but they likely won’t findany electronic digital trail, onlyapple cores.
The feds are busy digging up somethings about the speaker’s chummyrelationship with a couple of lobby-ists for the state-regulated publicutility monopoly ComEd, and par-ent company Exelon, which makesan annual profit of $100 million.The investigation has been ongoingsince 2017, the year when PresidentTrump appointed U.S. AttorneyJohn Lausch. No indictments havebeen forthcoming, and no specificwrongdoing by individuals (includ-ing Madigan) has been charged.
The gist of the situation is thatComEd has entered a “deferredprosecution agreement” with thefeds, admitting to a scheme of brib-ing Madigan pals and confidantesby giving them jobs in exchange forusing their influence with thespeaker when necessary. ComEdagreed to pay a $200 million fine(which, in effect, will be passedalong to electricity consumers, justwatch), and agreed to “cooperate”for 3 years. The “agreement” listsMadigan anonymously as “Indi-vidual A.”
But there is no tangible proof thusfar that ComEd’s flunkies used any“influence” on Madigan for any-thing. This is unlike in Ohio, whereRepublican Speaker LarryHouseholder was arrested in lateJuly for accepting $62 million inbribes to his dummy corporationfrom unnamed donors in exchangefor enacting a $1 billion taxpayer-funded bailout of two nuclear powerplants.
The clock is ticking on Lausch,whose term expires in January 2021when a new (or current) president isinaugurated. Lausch also has anongoing probe of former countyassessor Joe Berrios, which couldaffect Governor J.B. Pritzker andhis property tax breaks. Lauschneeds a trophy before he leavesoffice, or at least some reason tostay in office to continue his prose-cution. But Madigan is wasting notime doing what he does best, whichis raising buckets of money. On oneday, July 28 for example, he raised$914,100.
He got $362,500 from LiUNA
Chicago Laborers District CouncilPAC and $250,000 and $263,000donations from Chicago LandOperators Joint Labor-ManagementPAC, which is Local 150 of theOperating Engineers union. Theseare union dues being used for politi-cal purposes. Chicago PlumbersLocal 13 gave Madigan $25,000, andeven the Chicagoland Chamber ofCommerce gave him $5,000. Whichcertainly begs the question: Why?What’s in it for them?
Madigan has perfected the art of“scooping” and “parking.” He has atimetable. His goal is to scoop-up anaggregate $1 million-a month fromunions and special interests, andthen park those bucks in his oranother leadership member’saccount. Like $652,592 on-hand inconference chair Kathleen Willis’saccount and $983,338 in assistantmajority leader Natalie Manley’saccount. He allegedly uses them asblinds to transfer funds to othercandidates, as they gave a combined$110,000 to Michelle Darbro in the20th District primary, leaving nodirect Madigan fingerprints.
As of Aug. 1, Madigan had$23,529,621 cash on hand of, includ-ing $14,544,269 in Friends of MikeMadigan, $2,449,732 in theDemocratic Party of Illinois, ofwhich he is chairman, $4,300,413 inthe Democratic Majority Fund,which he uses to elect/re-electMembers to retain his 74-44 Housemajor i ty, and a whopp ing$2,235,207 in the 13th WardDemocratic Organization, of which
he is the committeeperson. Wrapyour brain around that: $2 million-plus in donations to a wardDemocratic organization? The dona-tion norm (excepting Ed Burke) isaround $15,000.
And let’s not forget daughter LisaMadigan, the former state attorneygeneral (2002-18) whom manythought would be governor. Eventhough out of office, she has$2,081,190 on hand.
The quid-pro-quo or pay-to-play iskind of foggy here. Sometimes it’s notgetting a donor-friendly bill throughthe House, but killing a donor-aversebill. Or maybe it’s just future insur-ance. But the speaker does not get(and maintain) this kind of largesswithout reciprocity. And the feds’investigation is eroding that factor,particularly within the Democraticcaucus, the 74 Democrats who pickthe speaker, who then picks the lead-ership (9 reps) and the committeechairs, all of who get a $12,000“stipend” atop their $67,836-a yearsalary. With his largess, Madigan isevery incumbent’s de facto campaignmanager, and many are dependenton the speaker to spend it to keepthem in office.
But there is restiveness. Minorityleader (R) Jim Durkin has intro-duced a resolution calling onMadigan to resign. This is all win-dow dressing because the only onewho can call for a vote for a newspeaker is the governor or thespeaker himself. The resolution issupported by 43 of 44 Republicans,including Brad Stephens (R-20),who faces Darbro on Nov. 3.
“The charges (against Madigan)are pretty specific,” said Stephens.Four Democrats have also demand-ed Madigan’s resignation: Steph-anie Kifowit of Oswego, TerraCosta-Howard of Glen Ellyn, andKelly Cassidy and Yoni Pizer ofChicago (Pizer lost on March 17 toMargaret Croke). Madigan has beencalling around to his caucus inrecent weeks, and his support isthus far solid - as would be expectedin a pre-election period.
But problems portend for nextJanuary. Women outnumber men39-35 in the caucus, and many ofthe newer, younger women want awoman as speaker sometime intheir lifetime. At present GregHarris is majority leader and thepresumptive heir. The deputymajority leaders, Jehan Gordon-Booth and Art Turner Jr. are bothAfrican American and of the sixassistant majority leaders, three arewomen, two are Hispanic and one isBlack. The only White guys left are

Bridget Degnen (D-12) and U.S.Representative Mike Quigley (D-5)discussed a variety of COVID-19issues at the July 29 virtual meetingof the Jefferson Park NeighborhoodAssociation.
The county has received $429 mil-lion in federal funds as a result of thepandemic, but those funds cannot beused to patch the $220 million gap inthe county’s budget due to revenueloss, Degnen said. The county hasexperienced a drop in revenue fromhotels and restaurants and the saleof cigarettes and gasoline, althoughalcohol tax revenue has “prettymuch” met projections, she said.
About $82 million of the federaldollars have been earmarked forsmall businesses. Some of thosefunds are being used to help coverthe cost of coronavirus pandemicsupplies like hand sanitizer and floordecals instructing shoppers to stay 6feet apart, Degnen said.
Due to the pandemic’s effect onproperty values, the county asses-sor’s office is making COVID-19-related adjustments on propertyassessments, which will be reflectedon the send installment of next year’sproperty tax bill, Degnen said. Thecounty also is waiving late fees
through Oct. 1 on the second install-ment of this year’s property tax bills.
Degnen added that she was inter-ested in an “across the board” 10-per-cent reduction in tax bills due to theeconomic impact of the pandemic butthat there are 134 taxing bodies inthe county that “rely entirely onproperty taxes.” She said that some“schools would have trouble opening”if such a tax cut were to take effect.
Concerns about voting in personduring a pandemic have led to thecounty already receiving 100,000mail-in ballot requests, and up to800,000 are expected, Degnen said.
Quigley said that “an unprecedent-ed number of people want to vote bymail” and that it is worrisome thatthe U.S. Postal Service is “currentlyprojected to run out of money” inSeptember. He added that Congressmight have to address the issue toensure that the postal service is run-ning smoothly this fall.
On the topic of a coronavirus vac-cine, Quigley said, “There has neverbeen a particularly effective vaccinefor a virus like this in our history. ...This is a virus like we haven’t seenbefore. I don’t want to sugarcoat it.”
He said that a vaccine will “not bea cure-all” and that in the best yearsthe flu vaccine is nor more thanabout 70 percent effective.

Other types of commercial proper-ties that could experience a drop invalue include hotels, restaurantsand convention space, Kaegi said.Commercial tenants are expected tobe seeking lower rents or other con-cessions from landlords, he said.
Also at the meeting, Kaegi saidthat changes in school funding wouldlessen the property tax burden onfamilies, especially for Black andLatino households given that a high-er amount of their wealth typicallygoes toward the cost of their homewhen compared to other groups.
MOST OF THE property tax col-lected in the county goes to schools,including about 55 percent inChicago and 67 percent in some sub-urbs, Kaegi said. On the nationallevel the Democratic Party is push-ing for a tripling of Title I (federal)funds for schools and that “willmake a really big difference on (tax)levies,” he said.
Studies have shown that in CookCounty commercial properties tendto be undervalued when comparedto residential properties, but Kaegi,who was elected in 2018, has saidthat he wants all properties to beassessed fairly.
In 2018 the assessed value ofEvanston was 27.3 percent commer-cial and 72.7 residential, but afterthe 2019 reassessment the balancewas 39.9 percent commercial and60.1 percent residential.
However, the balanced shifted againafter the independent Board ofReview finished its appeals work,Kaegi said. The balance was then 31
percent commercial and 69 percentresidential.
Kaegi spokesman Scott Smith saidthat the assessor’s office takes a“macro approach” when determiningproperty values in a communitywhile the review board is “moremicro,” as it examines individualappeals.
The meeting was held by CookCounty Suburban Publishers.

The men were described only asWhite/Hispanic.
A MAN WAS arrested forallegedly threatening a man with agun at about 4:35 p.m. Saturday,Aug. 1, in a parking lot in the 4400block of North Pulaski Road,according to 17th (Albany Park)District police.
A 35-year-old man reported thathe was in a parking lot when aman yelled, “What are you staringat?” from his vehicle, according topolice. The man reported that hereplied that he was not staringand that he would give the man$5 in cash if he left the area,police said.
The man reported that when heapproached the man and took themoney out from his wallet theman said, “Okay, put the moneyon the ground,” according topolice. The man reported that hesaid no and the man said, “Whitetrash, I’m going to kill you andI’m going to go to jail for it,”pulled out a gun and pointed it atthe man, police said.
The man reported that he ranaway, called police and the manwas placed into custody after he
was identified, according to police.Officers reported that they discov-
ered the gun with eight live rounds,one of which was in the chamber anda pocketknife and the man was

know it. Goltz said the proposed 4,600
square-foot 7-Eleven store and gasstation, which would be located atthe southeast corner of the develop-ment, would be unlike other arealocations, which he said are mostlyconverted White Hen pantries. Thestation would be open 24-hours aday.
A 10,000 square-foot multi-tenantbuilding would be located on thenortheast corner of the property,along Harlem Avenue, and Goltzsaid both Aspen Dental andStarbucks Coffee have been identi-fied as potential tenants.
Finally, a 7,000 square-foot build-ing would be located at the southwestcorner of the development, alongMontrose Avenue. Goltz said thattenants have not been identified forthe space yet but plans include drive-through access for a restaurant.
During the meeting memberspointed out that the drive-throughwould be across the street from resi-dences and placed a restriction on
hours of operation so that the drive-through would only be allowed tooperate between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m.
A presentation from GW Prop-erties said that the developerexpects $35 million in retail sales tobe generated annually, with an esti-mated sales tax return of $875,000.
In addition, GW Properties esti-mates that property taxes for thesite will increase from the current$65,000 to $300,000 per year uponcompletion. The developer pointedout that between sales and propertytaxes, Norridge stands to gain morethan $1 million in annual revenuefrom the project.
In addition to the revenue, GWProperties highlighted that thedevelopment will create hundreds oflocal construction jobs, more than200 permanent part- and full-timejobs and the site will also featureupgraded utility infrastructure.
“Our goal would be to start demoin late summer or early fall so theproject could be live by next sum-mer,” Goltz said.

Additional details about the virtualevent, giveaways, registration,event sponsors, and more will beavailable at recreation.lwd.org.
The annual event features morethan 2,500 racers, volunteers andspectators each year, she said at themeeting. Since the state is in phasefour of the “Restore Illinois” guide-lines, only gatherings of up to 50people are allowed.
“If we transition back to phasethree or phase two, the guidelinesthat were in place would not limit avirtual race of this nature becausepeople are individually participat-ing,” Rimdzius-Marsh said. “There’sno actual physical gathering.”
Trustee Georjean Hlepas-Nickellsaid she was curious about the rev-enue from a virtual event.
“Have you looked at some of theother communities that have donethese virtual races?” Hlepas-Nickellasked. “I’m a little nervous about themoney. We have very little comingin, especially in that department.”
“In terms of our ‘Turkey Trot,’ for avirtual event, I’ve loosely reachedout to sponsors to figure out what
their interest level would be if itwere virtual or in-person,” Rim-dzius-Marsh said. “We’ve alreadyreceived a commitment of $2,000 insupport for this event.”
“The other thing about a virtualrace is you no longer have all theexpenses of the timing company, therental equipment, the tents andthat makes up the bulk of theexpense of our ‘Turkey Trot,’”Rimdzius-Marsh said. “What I havebudgeted has us breaking even if wehave as few as 50 people sign-up forthis type of event.”
Staff noted that holding an in-per-son race with the current publichealth guidelines would add at least2 1/2 to 3 hours to the total race,which means increased costs to ven-dors and longer street closures.
“If we have to close streets, it justdoesn’t make sense,” Patel said.
Trustee Ronald Cope said that thevillage needs to carry on the tradi-tion and provide activities for resi-dents.
“I think if we can lay out a route inLincolnwood, that would be ideal,”he said.

School Council was holding a seriesof virtual meetings before it voteson whether to retain or removepolice officers from the school’scampus.
Input from parents and commu-nity members was sought Wednes-day, Aug. 5, and from studentsThursday, Aug. 6.
Input from faulty and staff mem-bers will be sought from 5:30 to6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10. In-formation on how to access themeetings will be posted 30 minutesprior to the start on the Google Docand calendar at www.schurzhs.org.
Input also can be given by takinga survey, which is available on theschool’s Web site, or by sending ane-mail to [email protected].
The council is expected to vote onthe school resource officer issue atits next regular monthly meeting at5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11.
The school’s site includes links toarticles that members of the coun-cil have reviewed on the topic. Italso lists “frequently asked ques-tions” and answers.
According to a statement on the
site, the school has two schoolresource officers who “are responsi-ble for protecting, not policing ourschool. They do not get involved indiscipline matters nor do we referstudents to the police for issues out-lined in our code of conduct. They donot supervise student behavior.”
The statement continues, “Theyhelp secure the building by periodi-cally patrolling the halls through-out the day and are usually visibleat dismissal time for studentsgoing to and from the bus stops.Their primary responsibility is tobe available if there is a threat toour community while we are inschool.
“The officers respond to adminis-trator requests via school radio.They attend large school-wideevents during the school day andwork special events such as thehomecoming dance.”
The school also has nine securityguards who work on staggeredshifts, and their responsibilitiesincluding monitoring the entrancesand metal detectors.
The school also states that itreceived no complaints about theSROs and that it does not expect to
receive additional funds for coun-selors, social workers and nurses ifthe SROs were to be removed.Schurz would need to develop analternative safety plan if the SROsare not assigned to the school,according to the statement.
The LSC’s Aug. 11 decision is notnecessarily final.
“We can revisit our decision atany time throughout the year. Inaddition, the CPS board will be vot-ing whether to continue the (SRO)program at its Aug. 27 meeting. Soif we decide to retain our SROs, theboard may vote to eliminate theprogram anyway,” the statementsaid.
The Chicago Board of Educationspends about $33 million annuallyon SROs, who last school year wereassigned to 72 high schools.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot has saidthat LSCs should decide whetherpolice officers should be stationedat their schools. In recent monthsschool districts in some cities havevoted to remove police following theprotests sparked by the killing ofGeorge Floyd, which led to thearrest of four police officers inMinnesota.
Schurz to gauge opinion on officers
Quigley, Degnen speak
Madigan and Downstater JayHoffman. Ironically, both BarbaraFlynn Currie, from Hyde Park, andLou Lang, from Skokie, both deputymajority leaders, patiently spentover 30 years waiting for Madiganto retire. They both are now retired.
A Madigan indictment at anytime would seal his ouster. TheHouse’s 74-44 supermajority wasimportant during former governorBruce Rauner’s (2014-18) gover-norship, but less so now. ADemocratic gain of two to threeseats is plausible, knocking offStephens and Palatine’s TomMorrison (R). The winners (D)would win because of Madigan’smoney, and owe him.
Madigan deserves credit for trans-forming the speakership into a for-midable instrument of power, unlikeany of his 65 predecessors, most ofwhom saw their job as a stepping-stone, not a career. They failed tounderstand the magic of money. It isdollars that win the districts thatsend the votes that the speakerneeds to stay in power.
Prior to Robert Blair (R), whoserved 1971-75 and famously bat-tled with Governor Dan Walker (D)on everything, speakers were obscu-rities. A few speakers have risen
beyond their limitations: LawrenceY. Sherman (R) was speaker 1899-1903, and U.S. senator 1913-21.David Shanahan, a ChicagoRepublican, had the pre-Madiganlongevity record, serving 1915-21,1923-25 and 1929-33. Hugh Cross(R) was speaker 1933-41, and thenDwight Green’s lieutenant governor1941-49.
Venerable Downstate DemocratPaul Powell has achieved immortal-ity through his shoeboxes. He wasspeaker 1949-51 and then again1958-63, winning the second timebecause of support of renegadeRepublicans known as the “WestSide Bloc.” He was elected Secretaryof State in 1965, and re-elected in1968. When he died in 1970, shoe-boxes stuffed with cash were foundin his Springfield hotel room. Powellobviously knew how to raise seriousmoney.
Speaker Ralph Tyler Smith (R),who served 1967-69, knew the art ofthe deal.

by BRIAN NADIGCook County Commissioner
Bridget Degnen (D-12) and U.S.Representative Mike Quigley (D-5)discussed a variety of COVID-19issues at the July 29 virtual meetingof the Jefferson Park NeighborhoodAssociation.
The county has received $429 mil-lion in federal funds as a result of thepandemic, but those funds cannot beused to patch the $220 million gap inthe county’s budget due to revenueloss, Degnen said. The county hasexperienced a drop in revenue fromhotels and restaurants and the saleof cigarettes and gasoline, althoughalcohol tax revenue has “prettymuch” met projections, she said.
About $82 million of the federaldollars have been earmarked forsmall businesses. Some of thosefunds are being used to help coverthe cost of coronavirus pandemicsupplies like hand sanitizer and floordecals instructing shoppers to stay 6feet apart, Degnen said.
Due to the pandemic’s effect onproperty values, the county asses-sor’s office is making COVID-19-related adjustments on propertyassessments, which will be reflectedon the send installment of next year’sproperty tax bill, Degnen said. Thecounty also is waiving late fees
through Oct. 1 on the second install-ment of this year’s property tax bills.
Degnen added that she was inter-ested in an “across the board” 10-per-cent reduction in tax bills due to theeconomic impact of the pandemic butthat there are 134 taxing bodies inthe county that “rely entirely onproperty taxes.” She said that some“schools would have trouble opening”if such a tax cut were to take effect.
Concerns about voting in personduring a pandemic have led to thecounty already receiving 100,000mail-in ballot requests, and up to800,000 are expected, Degnen said.
Quigley said that “an unprecedent-ed number of people want to vote bymail” and that it is worrisome thatthe U.S. Postal Service is “currentlyprojected to run out of money” inSeptember. He added that Congressmight have to address the issue toensure that the postal service is run-ning smoothly this fall.
On the topic of a coronavirus vac-cine, Quigley said, “There has neverbeen a particularly effective vaccinefor a virus like this in our history. ...This is a virus like we haven’t seenbefore. I don’t want to sugarcoat it.”
He said that a vaccine will “not bea cure-all” and that in the best yearsthe flu vaccine is nor more thanabout 70 percent effective.

Other types of commercial proper-ties that could experience a drop invalue include hotels, restaurantsand convention space, Kaegi said.Commercial tenants are expected tobe seeking lower rents or other con-cessions from landlords, he said.
Also at the meeting, Kaegi saidthat changes in school funding wouldlessen the property tax burden onfamilies, especially for Black andLatino households given that a high-er amount of their wealth typicallygoes toward the cost of their homewhen compared to other groups.
MOST OF THE property tax col-lected in the county goes to schools,including about 55 percent inChicago and 67 percent in some sub-urbs, Kaegi said. On the nationallevel the Democratic Party is push-ing for a tripling of Title I (federal)funds for schools and that “willmake a really big difference on (tax)levies,” he said.
Studies have shown that in CookCounty commercial properties tendto be undervalued when comparedto residential properties, but Kaegi,who was elected in 2018, has saidthat he wants all properties to beassessed fairly.
In 2018 the assessed value ofEvanston was 27.3 percent commer-cial and 72.7 residential, but afterthe 2019 reassessment the balancewas 39.9 percent commercial and60.1 percent residential.
However, the balanced shifted againafter the independent Board ofReview finished its appeals work,Kaegi said. The balance was then 31
percent commercial and 69 percentresidential.
Kaegi spokesman Scott Smith saidthat the assessor’s office takes a“macro approach” when determiningproperty values in a communitywhile the review board is “moremicro,” as it examines individualappeals.
The meeting was held by CookCounty Suburban Publishers.

know it. Goltz said the proposed 4,600
square-foot 7-Eleven store and gasstation, which would be located atthe southeast corner of the develop-ment, would be unlike other arealocations, which he said are mostlyconverted White Hen pantries. Thestation would be open 24-hours aday.
A 10,000 square-foot multi-tenantbuilding would be located on thenortheast corner of the property,along Harlem Avenue, and Goltzsaid both Aspen Dental andStarbucks Coffee have been identi-fied as potential tenants.
Finally, a 7,000 square-foot build-ing would be located at the southwestcorner of the development, alongMontrose Avenue. Goltz said thattenants have not been identified forthe space yet but plans include drive-through access for a restaurant.
During the meeting memberspointed out that the drive-throughwould be across the street from resi-dences and placed a restriction on
hours of operation so that the drive-through would only be allowed tooperate between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m.
A presentation from GW Prop-erties said that the developerexpects $35 million in retail sales tobe generated annually, with an esti-mated sales tax return of $875,000.
In addition, GW Properties esti-mates that property taxes for thesite will increase from the current$65,000 to $300,000 per year uponcompletion. The developer pointedout that between sales and propertytaxes, Norridge stands to gain morethan $1 million in annual revenuefrom the project.
In addition to the revenue, GWProperties highlighted that thedevelopment will create hundreds oflocal construction jobs, more than200 permanent part- and full-timejobs and the site will also featureupgraded utility infrastructure.
“Our goal would be to start demoin late summer or early fall so theproject could be live by next sum-mer,” Goltz said.

Additional details about the virtualevent, giveaways, registration,event sponsors, and more will beavailable at recreation.lwd.org.
The annual event features morethan 2,500 racers, volunteers andspectators each year, she said at themeeting. Since the state is in phasefour of the “Restore Illinois” guide-lines, only gatherings of up to 50people are allowed.
“If we transition back to phasethree or phase two, the guidelinesthat were in place would not limit avirtual race of this nature becausepeople are individually participat-ing,” Rimdzius-Marsh said. “There’sno actual physical gathering.”
Trustee Georjean Hlepas-Nickellsaid she was curious about the rev-enue from a virtual event.
“Have you looked at some of theother communities that have donethese virtual races?” Hlepas-Nickellasked. “I’m a little nervous about themoney. We have very little comingin, especially in that department.”
“In terms of our ‘Turkey Trot,’ for avirtual event, I’ve loosely reachedout to sponsors to figure out what
their interest level would be if itwere virtual or in-person,” Rim-dzius-Marsh said. “We’ve alreadyreceived a commitment of $2,000 insupport for this event.”
“The other thing about a virtualrace is you no longer have all theexpenses of the timing company, therental equipment, the tents andthat makes up the bulk of theexpense of our ‘Turkey Trot,’”Rimdzius-Marsh said. “What I havebudgeted has us breaking even if wehave as few as 50 people sign-up forthis type of event.”
Staff noted that holding an in-per-son race with the current publichealth guidelines would add at least2 1/2 to 3 hours to the total race,which means increased costs to ven-dors and longer street closures.
“If we have to close streets, it justdoesn’t make sense,” Patel said.
Trustee Ronald Cope said that thevillage needs to carry on the tradi-tion and provide activities for resi-dents.
“I think if we can lay out a route inLincolnwood, that would be ideal,”he said.
by BRIAN NADIGThe Schurz High School Local
School Council was holding a seriesof virtual meetings before it voteson whether to retain or removepolice officers from the school’scampus.
Input from parents and commu-nity members was sought Wednes-day, Aug. 5, and from studentsThursday, Aug. 6.
Input from faulty and staff mem-bers will be sought from 5:30 to6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10. In-formation on how to access themeetings will be posted 30 minutesprior to the start on the Google Docand calendar at www.schurzhs.org.
Input also can be given by takinga survey, which is available on theschool’s Web site, or by sending ane-mail to [email protected].
The council is expected to vote onthe school resource officer issue atits next regular monthly meeting at5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11.
The school’s site includes links toarticles that members of the coun-cil have reviewed on the topic. Italso lists “frequently asked ques-tions” and answers.
According to a statement on the
site, the school has two schoolresource officers who “are responsi-ble for protecting, not policing ourschool. They do not get involved indiscipline matters nor do we referstudents to the police for issues out-lined in our code of conduct. They donot supervise student behavior.”
The statement continues, “Theyhelp secure the building by periodi-cally patrolling the halls through-out the day and are usually visibleat dismissal time for studentsgoing to and from the bus stops.Their primary responsibility is tobe available if there is a threat toour community while we are inschool.
“The officers respond to adminis-trator requests via school radio.They attend large school-wideevents during the school day andwork special events such as thehomecoming dance.”
The school also has nine securityguards who work on staggeredshifts, and their responsibilitiesincluding monitoring the entrancesand metal detectors.
The school also states that itreceived no complaints about theSROs and that it does not expect to
receive additional funds for coun-selors, social workers and nurses ifthe SROs were to be removed.Schurz would need to develop analternative safety plan if the SROsare not assigned to the school,according to the statement.
The LSC’s Aug. 11 decision is notnecessarily final.
“We can revisit our decision atany time throughout the year. Inaddition, the CPS board will be vot-ing whether to continue the (SRO)program at its Aug. 27 meeting. Soif we decide to retain our SROs, theboard may vote to eliminate theprogram anyway,” the statementsaid.
The Chicago Board of Educationspends about $33 million annuallyon SROs, who last school year wereassigned to 72 high schools.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot has saidthat LSCs should decide whetherpolice officers should be stationedat their schools. In recent monthsschool districts in some cities havevoted to remove police following theprotests sparked by the killing ofGeorge Floyd, which led to thearrest of four police officers inMinnesota.
Schurz to gauge opinion on officers
Quigley, Degnen speak
Madigan and Downstater JayHoffman. Ironically, both BarbaraFlynn Currie, from Hyde Park, andLou Lang, from Skokie, both deputymajority leaders, patiently spentover 30 years waiting for Madiganto retire. They both are now retired.
A Madigan indictment at anytime would seal his ouster. TheHouse’s 74-44 supermajority wasimportant during former governorBruce Rauner’s (2014-18) gover-norship, but less so now. ADemocratic gain of two to threeseats is plausible, knocking offStephens and Palatine’s TomMorrison (R). The winners (D)would win because of Madigan’smoney, and owe him.
Madigan deserves credit for trans-forming the speakership into a for-midable instrument of power, unlikeany of his 65 predecessors, most ofwhom saw their job as a stepping-stone, not a career. They failed tounderstand the magic of money. It isdollars that win the districts thatsend the votes that the speakerneeds to stay in power.
Prior to Robert Blair (R), whoserved 1971-75 and famously bat-tled with Governor Dan Walker (D)on everything, speakers were obscu-rities. A few speakers have risen
beyond their limitations: LawrenceY. Sherman (R) was speaker 1899-1903, and U.S. senator 1913-21.David Shanahan, a ChicagoRepublican, had the pre-Madiganlongevity record, serving 1915-21,1923-25 and 1929-33. Hugh Cross(R) was speaker 1933-41, and thenDwight Green’s lieutenant governor1941-49.
Venerable Downstate DemocratPaul Powell has achieved immortal-ity through his shoeboxes. He wasspeaker 1949-51 and then again1958-63, winning the second timebecause of support of renegadeRepublicans known as the “WestSide Bloc.” He was elected Secretaryof State in 1965, and re-elected in1968. When he died in 1970, shoe-boxes stuffed with cash were foundin his Springfield hotel room. Powellobviously knew how to raise seriousmoney.
Speaker Ralph Tyler Smith (R),who served 1967-69, knew the art ofthe deal. Downstater Smith (R)wanted to run for governor in 1968,but so did then-County Board presi-dent Dick Ogilvie and Peoria busi-nessman John Henry Altorfer.Veteran U.S. Senator EverettDirksen (R-IL) was then dying ofcancer, so Smith and Ogilvie cut a
deal: Smith endorsed Ogilvie andOgilvie, if elected, promised toappoint Smith to any Senate vacan-cy. Smith as speaker was crucial inpassing Ogilvie’s state income taxplan in 1969. Dirksen died in Sept.1969, and Smith then went toWashington. Smith lost big –2,065,054-1,519,718 – to AdlaiStevenson III (D) in 1970, a marginof 545,336 votes. Smith should havestayed put.
The ubiquitous (and later indict-ed and convicted) George Ryanbailed after one term (1981-83) asspeaker, to be succeeded by Ma-digan when the Democrats retookthe majority in 1982 after theLegislative Cutback Amendmentcut the House from 177 to 118members. Ryan got himself electedlieutenant governor in 1982, thenSecretary of State in 1990, thengovernor in 1998. Then went toprison for taking bribes regardingdriver’s licenses.
I recall an old “Dirty Harry” movie(Magnum Force) wherein the ClintEastwood character ruefully re-marked “a man’s got to know hislimitations.” Madigan never knewany limitations. But sometime,probably sooner than later, he willencounter some.
