Faith leaders: Mayor Brandon Johnson’s public safety plan continues the major mistakes of its predecessors – Chicago Tribune*

Michael Pfleger, Seth Limmer, Otis Moss III and Ciera Bates-Chamberlain: "There is no guaranteed civic line of funding (or oversight), no procurement power for the Office of Community Safety, and no guarantee — which can only happen by ordinance — that this important office (and its deputy mayor) will remain part of the city’s infrastructure. Likewise, despite a thorough listening tour and wider civic cooperation, there is no established community board for participation or, more importantly, oversight."
