Move to Limit Access to City Council Meetings ‘Likely Illegal,’ Better Government Association Warns Mayor – WTTW (Chicago)

Limiting members of the public to the third floor “offers, at best, second-class status and degrades public access to meetings of this vitally important public body,” BGA president David Greising wrote. “Lumping law-abiding and responsible citizens in with the disruptors, and clearing them from the chamber, denies their right to see their government at work.” Unless Johnson changes course, he could become the third consecutive mayor to be sued by the BGA.
