14 aldermen ‘cannot and will not’ vote for mayor’s budget without the return of ShotSpotter: letter – CWB Chicago

Claiming “this is what Chicago wants,” the letter launches into a list of eight demands and the group’s reasoning for each. Topping the list: Reject a property tax increase. That was followed by a demand that the city reconnect its ShotSpotter gunfire detection network, and create a new police district on the Southwest Side and a satellite office for the existing 12th District to “better handle rising crime in the area.”
