On Monday, at an event titled "Reparations Not Black Sites" in downtown Chicago, demonstrators continued to push Emanuel and the city to take up an ordinance that would include further payments to victims under Burge as well as a formal apology from the city, community centers and a requirement for Chicago public schools to teach the history of police abuse in the city.
Making matters worse, the ordinance allows for union dues payments to be mandatory, i.e. if you don't pay up, you don't drive.
An earlier Legal Department document submitted by Jenkins insisted the ordinance would simply align pension payments with contractual benefits.
Uber drivers had been providing free rides since last fall after a Superior Court judge ruled that accepting payments would violate the city's taxi ordinance, the Alaska Dispatch News reported.
Seeking to keep ride sharing out of town, the city passed an ordinance that stated that unlicensed drivers who accepted payments for rides could have their cars impounded.
New York, Washington, D.C., and Chicago are considering similar ordinances to protect the consumer's choice of payment and Atlanta, the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement, may join that line, too.
In Evanston, the ordinance's supporters say they are willing to accept payments from Northwestern in lieu of taxes, but the university has so far refused.
Over that period, Cicero's insurance committee -- Ms. Loren-Maltese, Police Chief Emil Schullo and Treasurer Joseph DeChicio -- authorized payments totaling $28 million to the concern without approval of the town board, as required by ordinance.
Their argument is that the ordinance violates Washington's state constitution, specifically its provision that private property may not be taken without payment of just compensation.
If the ordinance in question had, in express terms, made the granting of a license as merchandise broker depend upon the payment by the applicant of a given per cent.
