Bea Sullivan-Knoff filed the federal suit in 2016 seeking to overturn the ordinance that prohibits liquor license holders from allowing women from exposing their breasts without imposing the same restriction on men. Sullivan-Knoff, a performance artist, described the measure as “sexist and transphobic,” slamming the restriction as an “embarrassment” to a modern American city.
Sullivan-Knoff also sought compensatory and punitive damages for the difficulties she faced living as a working artist whose act depends on being bare-breasted. The city didn’t provide any details of a cash settlement.

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

“Relocating to Los Angeles!” And you’ll never guess where the money to cover the moving expenses cam from…
Jeez, that’s bad. Big settlement and then leaves the city for a law that will no longer apply to him.
Chicago– once manufacturing capital of the world now reduced to gambaling, selling pot, and now im sure taxing strippers to pay for all the $six figure$ city workers..whats next? Legalized prostitution?
I don’t get it, she/he has a mans chest so needs no shirt regardless of anything else. Unless he had implants, then the law says they have to cover them up even though they are fake. The law just applies to the body part hanging out.
Hormones make breasts. So it was forced to cover up the hormone induced breasts. It challenged the law. Woke Chicago settled. Because, you know, there’s so many customers who’ve complained about men with breasts who by law must wear pasties. Of all the laws in Chicago, this unwoke law was the most pressing.
The definition of a totally messed up world.
