Previous Episode: 6/21/21: "May Council jostles housing, delays Drive strive"
In a discussion by journalists Dave Glowacz and Ben Joravsky, Dave and Ben heard and critiqued parts of the June 2021 meeting of the full Chicago City Council. In the standard version, a parliamentary manuever on a mayoral appointment results in an unexpected, early adjournment. In the premium version: Mayor Lightfoot forces the approval of another appointment; the mayor brings the meeting to a close over fervent aldermanic objections; at a June 25 meeting, a mayoral ally thwarts a mayoral plan that'd weaken aldermen; and aldermen grill the police superintendent at a special July 2 meeting.
