Measure to Ban Those Convicted of Hate Crimes, Treason, Sedition From Doing Business with Chicago Advances – WTTW (Chicago)

Spurred by the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Ald. Gilbert Villegas introduced the measure earlier this year. A revised measure, which was unanimously endorsed by the Contracting Oversight and Equity Committee on Monday, added a ban on contracts with those convicted of hate crimes. Current city law prohibits those charged with or convicted of a felony from contracting with the city in addition to those convicted of misdemeanor bribery, attempted bribery, theft, perjury or related offenses.

I think that this new measure will apply to the current mayor. Her entire term as mayor has been one huge hate crime against the CPD and anyone who is not a crazy demented leftist.

May not want to pass this because before long that’s all that’s going to be left in Chicago to do business with.

Great use of time for all these aldermen. Realistically anyone who does business with the city has some sort of political connection. What are the odds that a seditionist would have any clout in city government.
