Pizza? I’ve been delivering for 12 years: police reform, $15 minimum wage, law to end parking meter deals. Chicagoans know good pizza, @Ricobenes is one of many I love. But just in case, here's some pizza- sausage, of course! #ChicagosVeryOwn #ResetChicago #SawyerForChicago

Save for Ald George Cardenas, who is off to the Cook County Board of Review, Tuesday was a rough night for anyone associated with Chicago’s City Council. Alds Dowell, Moore, Brookins, Taliaferro and Villegas all lost their respective races, as well as City Clerk Anna Valencia.

Health committee chair @RoderickTSawyer says he's interested in moving forward on this. Says he's heard a lot from @cta employees, especially women bus operators, about a lack of bathroom access along routes.

Ald. @RoderickTSawyer speaks against: "We talk a lot about in this chamber about violence. But Covid has cost more lives than shootings, overdoses, suicides or accidents...Let's keep our eye on the ball and eradicate this pandemic."

"We need these every day individuals to work with us to combat crime," says @RoderickTSawyer. "Police don't fight crime they solve crime..the problem we're having now is there's a disconnect between police and our communities as it relates to solving crime" Ord is a "strong step"
