When the agency underperforms its schedule month after month, at some point you have to call this what it is: lying

🏗️⚛️ The Illinois House Public Utilities committee passed a bill that will remove the size limit on new nuclear plants in the state. It is one of just 2 states in the country that have such a restriction. Next stop: house floor! #HB3604 #twill

Dorval Carter was allowed to mismanage the agency for years because he promised to secure RLE funding. Now the project has balloooned in costs, is strapping the agency with debt, and is going to hamstring basic maintenance and improvements for years to come

Chicago city council just voted to reject a proposal in my ward that would have created 615 new homes next to a Trader Joe’s. They’ve really fucked up this time. Let’s put an end to this madness in Springfield.

Amazing summary of yesterday’s Old Town community meeting

Be legends and give it a go anyway

These land-use changes would be huge in Chicago. Especially with the budget battle ongoing, this would be a win-win way of generating more tax revenue

The Red Line Extension is expensive (and getting moreso) while service along the existing system remains shoddy. It raises the question of why this was such an organizational focus in the first place

On Thursday, December 5th, join us at The Moody Church to support 500 new homes in Old Town. www.eventbrite.com/e/support-ag...

Should every government agency be profit-maximizing? Not necessarily. But they do need a clear mission statement. It focuses the organization and improves accountability. Too many “priorities” mean more process and more ways for leaders to duck responsibility

Crazy levels of stock photo energy coming from this pic.

thanks to my friend Gary for reminding me that I made this petition for ADUs in Chicago five years ago. I sent out an update just now to ask people to sign @urbanenviroil.bsky.social's petition (linked below) actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...

It’s kinda grim how predictable this all was. He was an inexperienced candidate with big spending plans that we put in charge of steering us through the end of covid funding

Would be great to see people who were hailing Brandon Johnson as the great hope back in the spring of 2023 to look back and see how he’s doing www.nplusonemag.com/issue-45/pol...

What’s actually behind the increase in legal defense costs? Is the CPD doing 6x more misconduct than in 2015?

Nuclear! It’s really good!

This is where aldermanic privilege hurts YIMBYism in the city: even pro-development aldermen are unlikely to push for zoning changes that would reduce their power to control development.

Public services in blue cities can be high-quality, but we’ve saddled them with all the same regulations that we put on private businesses, plus additional public-sector specific rules and restrictions

Join us at Franklin Tap on Sunday at 7pm for our first meeting since the election. We'll discuss the results, and also our plans to bring back confidence in blue city/state leadership. secure.everyaction.com/ygDUo-Z8Eki5...
