Lightfoot preparing multibillion-dollar capital spending plan – Chicago Sun-Times*

Ald. Gilbert Villegas (36th) said mayoral aides will start briefing aldermen Tuesday on the mayor’s plan to confront a capital funding shortage that’s been building for years. “This is a job creator. Any time there’s a tough time, there’s a capital bill that gets proposed in order to put people to work. Government has always led the charge in investing and putting people to work."
