Affordable Housing Plan Advances Despite Daley Opposition
(Chicago Tribune) — A key City Council committee voted Monday to set aside about $100 million a year from special taxing districts to build or preserve affordable housing, even though Mayor Richard Daley opposes the idea. The plan backed by affordable-housing advocates was approved by the Finance Committee on a 13-8 vote but needs at least 26 votes in the full City Council. Ald. Walter Burnett Jr., 27th, said he has the support of 27 aldermen, but that could change if opponents, including Daley, pressure some to change their minds. Daley also could veto the ordinance, and then aldermen would have to secure 34 votes to make it stick.
