At this time, we'll begin public comment. Alderman

Thank you Alderman Gardner. At this time
we'll begin the public comment period.
The period is limited to 30 minutes.
Um, I do wanna just review some of the, uh, rules of conduct
and we'd also like to recognize Alderman Riley, um,
and Conway and Alderman Conway's here as well.
Um, before we begin the public comment,
I just wanna review some of the rules of conduct.
Uh, there will be no profane, vulgar, threatening, abusive,
or disruptive language.
There'll be no demeaning, discriminatory
or harassing behavior.
There will be no disruptive behavior, um,
including that Mr.
Blakemore. And also, uh, remarks should be limited
to the subject matter appearing on the agenda
and the individuals must remain seated.
Uh, the first speaker is Michael Young Boy.
That's not a young boy,
Mr. Blakemore. We're
gonna ask you to be quiet
or we're gonna ask, uh, you to be removed.
That's your first and only warning
is Mr. Young Boy there?
Young, young Bay. Young Bay is Mr. Young Bay here
Because you out here you talking about the
behavior and things like that?
Yeah. Uh, I don't know if you can read. You have
Three minutes. I
know how many minutes I have. I can comprehend.
I wonder, can you, you know,
because evidently you've been hearing my name come across
here for over a year now.
So you should know my name, what you do by heart.
'cause you can recognize Mr. Blakemore name.
You can recognize Mr. Jackson. Now your
Three minutes has started.
Recognize my name. You know, and you do things like that
because you ignorant.
You know, so people that with common sense
and with some kind of decorum and respect
or you know, about they selves,
they don't do things like that.
Especially if they're a chairman
and they chairing the board.
You know, you, you don't, you don't do that.
I done been chairmans
before, so I know
it's crazy that people continue
to come down here and they be disrespected.
You know, you talk about harassment, you do know
what harassment is, right?
So the last time I spoke at a meeting,
I told y'all about my name.
Don't play with my damn name.
And I mean that if,
if I got a result to ignorance, I will.
Because my name is also a part of my heritage.
My name is also my religious freedom
that you can be violating.
See some of y'all claiming y'all
lawyers and things like that.
Lemme put you on the law
of harassment while you spoke of harassment.
You know, once somebody tell you what their name is
and you continue to call 'em something else,
that's a form of harassment.
You do know that, don't you?
You know, I may came up, up here and, and,
and made noise, holler, cuss, get into it, et cetera
because of what's going on with my family intentionally.
But I'm not ignorant.
I'll go down there and put
that sexual harassment on your ass.
And, and, and I and yes, I had to say it like that
for the record because that's wrong.
I ain't calling nobody out they thing
and don't you do it with me.
And I mean that, I don't care who you is. I fear nothing.
But I lie, I don't care if you in the mob a gang
or cult or any of that.
I fear nothing. I come up in my,
in my life in Cabrini Green, fearing nothing.
I was raised as a child of fear, nothing.
So don't play with me like that in that matter.
And I mean that, that go for every person in this room,
in this room, and every person that see this video.
'cause I will die for mine.
This ain't no clown stuff.
So you better check yourself for you wreck yourself.
Um, I think we're gonna go back.
We do need a motion to allow Alderman Gardner to be remote.
So Alderman Conway makes a motion. All in favor say aye.
Any opposed? Um, alderman Gardner,
you're here as part of Quorum.
Thank you. We also wanna recognize Alderman Burnett.
And did I miss anybody? Alderman Viegas is
here as part of Quorum.
We set Alderman Riley.
We're gonna go on to the next speaker,
which is George Blakemore.
You have three minutes.
Good morning. It's, it's a sad morning in, in the city
of Chicago to, uh,
hear what's going on here in City Hall.
She knows this gentleman name.
She knows his name is Young Bay. Why would she do that?
Why? Why would she even make a statement that, uh,
uh, reading the rules, these rules
are, are illegal too.
It's something inherently wrong here.
It's corrupt fraud
and abuse here dealing with business life, liquor life.
How many black people in the city
of Chicago have liquor life?
How many of them have, uh, marijuana life?
So evidently it's something wrong with black people too,
because we have to teach these people how to treat us
business dealing with life.
So, uh, the Jewish people own a lot of business
and they got money.
Mr. Blake. Mo, you're supposed
to be staying on topic here,
Talking Black people. You're
supposed to be staying on topic. And
I'm talking about liquor license.
You don't threaten me. I'm, I'm Jewish too.
I told you before, that's a religion
and it started in Ethiopia.
You don't have a monopoly.
All these religions are founded by black, the thought
of the black man, the Islam, Hindu, all of them.
So don't play that card with me.
Carry someone to someone else.
You see, ma'am, you, you and I had that before.
I can say you don't, you know about Ethiopia and, and
and the Black Israelites.
Mr. Blakemore, can you just say
what you came here to talk about, please?
I'm talking about business people.
The Jewish merchants here.
They got a lot of 'em with liquor license and other license.
They got a lot of them.
So I encourage my black brothers
and sisters on this committee make sure our people
and wonder why our people don't have liquor license,
don't have, uh, dispensary life, don't have business
license and affair.
This committee was, uh, chair
before by Honorable Emma Midst.
And she never treated us like this.
And we are not going to accept it from you or nobody else.
For several years she chair this committee.
She would never do that. Never.
So you got the right one this time and you got but,
but I'm glad my black brother,
Law, law, we need this.
And I'm with you too. A black you
Jessica Jackson, you're next.
Understand that I understand my constitutional rights.
I have the first amendment, freedom of speech.
I do not have to talk about
what you Silverstein wants me to talk about.
I talk about what's in my mind.
I talk about what's on my brain, the one that God gave me.
And it don't have to be ran past you.
If you can talk about your people
and your struggles, watch us talk about ours.
If you don't like it, do what you usually do.
Get up and run out. But you don't control this.
You don't control our constitutional rights.
The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment is ours,
not yours, ours.
And we do whatever we want to with it, including
exercising our freedom, freedom of speech.
Now you need to get that right
before you go reading our rules that don't apply
to none of us in here.
Apply 'em to yourself.
Now, next topic.
Y'all wanna say that Trump
or the Republicans is paying me
or paying other people to be in here.
Do you really think that Donald Trump got to pay me
at my age to know when my rights are being violated,
that I need a, a party that's gonna stick up for me?
You are telling me that I got to be paid by Donald Trump
for me to have a good common sense to know
that you Silverstein cannot do censorship by way
of public, public speaking.
You wanna tell us that we need Donald Trump to
pay us, for us to know that we've been coming in here
for over a year talking about our issues, our problems
to the Democratic party
for which you all have done nothing at all about.
So we so dis in the brain
and so Republican, uh, Democrat led 'cause we black
and we gotta stay for black people
that we don't have enough sense to stand up for ourselves.
That's why you think you can say silly things like
what you said this morning.
Don't you ever think you can tell us what to talk about?
Our plight is on American soul, not another country.
What was done to us was on American soil.
American soil, not another country.
And we can say what we want say about it. You don't like it?
Too bad. I don't like the fact
that a Jew lawyer is still in my mother's estate.
Open your mouth if you want to. I don't care. 'cause
I open my mouth. It'll
be to as a sergeant of
to take you out. It means, it means
Nothing. It
means nothing. It means nothing.
You don't want me to speak on it, call him
and tell him to quit stealing from me.
Then how about that part? His name is David Felman.
David Felman. Call him and
Tell me what to do.
Next Speaker. Next speaker. Zoe Lee.
Yes. He's now,
Like I've always said,
if we are going speak about the Holocaust, we going
to definitely never forget about slavery
because slavery was here.
So at the end of the day, we cannot sit here
and ignore, like slavery was never here.
And then only concentrate on Holocaust. Okay?
So keep that same energy.
Now they both over there fighting for some land.
That's really what it's about.
Just like I'm fighting for land right here in America,
right here in, on the south side of Chicago, at the city
of Chicago buildings department with the help of these
corrupt, uh, uh, alderman at the time.
Latasha Thomas, uh, Terry Peterson.
And then, you know, I got blank man.
David Moore is the alderman now that let my,
let them knock down my building and can't get any help.
So to sit here and think that I'm coming here
because the Republican party is paying me is crazy.
Okay? That's, that's, that's not even close to it.
I said last year, maybe about maybe two months prior
to this in August, I said I was in Georgia
when they flipped that state blue.
I said, if the city of Chicago does not settle my mother's
case, I will flip this state red.
Okay? Because that's the only thing that's probably going
to get to y'all.
It's to let y'all know that this state can be flipped red
by way of enough black Chicagoans to vote red.
And that's what I'm on. And that's been my mission.
Trump can't pay me enough. No one can't pay me enough.
This goes by way of y'all disrespecting my mother. Okay?
That's what it was. That's what it is.
And I, and I, and I think that y'all would do the same thing
if somebody just went and knocked down y'all building
and have yet to compensate you and then try to lie
and say it was building violations.
When we have all the paperwork,
including a voicemail from the city of Chicago.
That's the problem. So I technically own the city.
Like I said, my mother, my mother's suing for $3 billion.
And that, you know, at the end of the day,
and we're not going to settle, we're not gonna settle.
'cause at the end of the day, you guys
have been doing this for forever.
That's what it is. It's been a racket.
Y'all still are property. Y'all still our property.
And this is by way of the Democratic party.
That's why our community still look the way they
look in 2024.
So that's why I'm out here
because it doesn't make any sense why our communities still
look like this when we have these many black people in, in,
in, in Congress for that's represen
that's supposed to be representing us.
And we have been voting like this for 60 years.
This doesn't make any sense.
So what I see is that the city of Chicago needs to flip red
and then the next two years we can concentrate
on getting y'all outta office.
Next speaker is Taiwan Sims.
You can tell me when you're ready, chairwoman.
Ready? Oh, hey, how's it going guys?
You have such, um, heritage pride
at being a Jewish woman, right?
Because you were finna argue hall off the mic,
but you don't want to hear the word Jew.
It seems used. I can, I can um, kind of get
that from the last three times.
You just try to cut people off from using it.
A word that describes what,
but I'm a black American here in the city of Chicago dealing
with an issue that I brought to this committee right here.
Two 3D seven nine.
5 9 7 is a case that I'm dealing with my small child.
My child is a black American. His name Yas Roosevelt Sims.
I'm dealing with a, a criminal over here named Deanna
Williamson in a clerk's office, which y'all have power over,
which y'all not using it for me.
Y'all not not gonna use it for me, right?
Silverstein, because I'm a black American.
You could care less about my child or me.
That's why y'all get upset when we speak at this mic
because to address openly the issue, right?
Don't look, look here, come, you wanna walk up here,
Burnett, where I'm from, the Henry Horner projects,
my grandmother named Annie Sims.
That man that stand out there old is my uncle.
I'm 44 years old. I was raised up in the north side though.
That's why my diction like this.
But I still harbor every which way that's in me.
I promise you. Back to you lady chairwoman.
When is y'all gonna address this issue with my child
and this woman over here
that's abusing the public in her capacity?
She the manager of the clerk's office over there
in domestic relations.
I have not seen my child in almost now three years, two
and a half years, let's say that.
I'm not sure because I'm crazy about it.
But because we don't cry, scream and holler at y'all.
Beg, kneel before y'all.
We don't get no relief, right? S Silverstein, look at me.
'cause I want y'all to look at me.
I'm not gonna cry before you, but I want you to hear me.
I want you to understand that me screaming at
that fat dog Irving over there,
when Emma midst opened her mouth
and said what needed to be said about that 70 million
that y'all appropriated to other people, but my nation
and our neighborhood still going into the despair
and hurt and hardship.
Y'all think I gotta respect somebody to disrespect me.
My court job lead me in that sense.
I be ready to punch somebody in they face.
But y'all gonna say that's threatening.
But the threat is the pack.
The people that got the power that don't
address your issues.
The threat is the people that we elected to take care of us.
That's not taking care of us. That's the threat.
The people that ultimately had the power, not me,
not the man speaking up about what's being about being
abused, about being mistreated, misrepresented, right?
I'm just saying you got so much pride.
What about pride for the people?
What about having a pride for your representative?
Power your automatic power?
What about pride for the constituents?
What about pride for me and my child?
And you doing your job and y'all doing y'all jobs?
Enough is enough. Man,
You three minutes is up.
That con that concludes our public comment.
That concludes, that concludes our public speakers.
Thank you to all of you today.
Um, before we start on today's agenda, I just want
to, uh, take a moment.
Uh, this is a very hard day for me today
and my heart is aching.
Um, one year ago today,
Hamas, an internationally known terrorist organization, came
to to Israel and
and murdered 1,200
innocent Israelis.
They raped and mutilated women
and took over 250 people as hostage.
I will have you removed
Right?
Sergeant of arms. Could you have them taken out? Yes.
Well out.
Not trying to be I'm not going,
don't tell us what wet talk about.
Tell us what we can't talk about,
but we do wanna tell us what we can't talk about.
It's been, it's been seven years.
It's been seven years since the city my family building. And
Can you please clear the clear that you Thank you.
This committee will have respect
and quiet when others are talking.
So if you cannot do that, we will ask you to leave.
Committee will be recessed for two minutes.
As I was saying one year ago today,
Hamas, an internationally known terrorist, came into Israel,
murdered 1200 innocent people, raped
women, took over 250 people hostage.
It was a terrible, terrible day
for my people in my country and for the world.
And here we are a year later
and we still have 101 hostages in captivity.
The Jewish community just celebrated Rosh
Hashanah last week.
And we will be observing Yom Kipper this weekend.
And it's during this time that we pray for a good year,
a healthy and a happy, and a sweet New Year.
And this year we are also paying praying for peace.
If we could please have a moment of silence.
Thank you.
We will now start with today's Aden agenda.
We have 13 items on the agenda today.
The first item on the agenda is the approval
of the Rule 45 report for September, 2024,
which were sent out to the committee, alderman Lawson.
Um, will you approve the rule 45 reports?
All in favor say aye.
Any opposed in the opinion of the chairs? The ayes have it.
The reports are approved.
Second item on the agenda is oh 2 0 2 4 dash
0 0 1 1 2 0 3.
An ordinance to amend Section nine of the Municipal Code
of Chicago regarding restrictions on operating of petty caps
in the third ward, alderman Dowells Ward,
the chair recognizes Alderman Dowell.
Good morning committee. Thank you.
Um, Madam Chairman, um,
this committee has already approved a previous ordinance
that restricted petty cabs from Roosevelt Road to
18th Street, uh, between Michigan
and, uh, the lakefront.
I'm asking that this, uh, amendment go to 22nd Street
because what I am seeing in real time is, uh,
petty cabs bisecting,
or going around the district
to come in from the south side of the of the ward.
Um, the reason that this is important is because at 18th
and Calume, I have the 18th Street Pedestrian bridge,
which takes people over to Soldier Field.
And what we're experiencing in the community is the
petty cabs, uh, lining up, uh, uh, staging
and, uh, driving through the residential neighborhood there.
So I ask for your support in this amendment
to the municipal code.
Any questions? Alderman Lawson has a question.
Uh, thank you Madam Chair.
Uh, I worked on this ordinance many, many years ago.
We have, uh, similar situation around Wrigley.
Um, I know Alban Riley was here at the time too.
Um, so are they able to use Roosevelt
to access Soldier Field or what, what is sort
Of that road? They can use Roosevelt
Road. Okay.
But they cannot come south of Roosevelt Road
and use streets like Indiana, Michigan, uh,
Calume Prairie to run through the neighborhood.
Great. We've also tried to do some petty cab loading zones
with Nick's success we can talk about later.
But, uh, definitely, uh, appreciate the need to do this
and we'll make the motion if no one else has any questions.
Thank you. Alder
Lawson moves to pass.
All in favor say aye. Any opposed?
And the opinion of the chair,
the ayes have at the motion is passed.
Thank you. Next we have, um,
item oh 2 0 2 4 dash 0 0 1 24 24.
An ordinance to amends section four dash six zero dash 0 2 3
of the Municipal Code of Chicago
to disallow additional packaged good license on portions
of EW Inc.
Avenue and Alderman Chico's Ward chair
recognizes Alderman Vice Chair Chico.
Thank you Madam Chair.
Uh, this was lifted to have seven 11 sell,
um, packaged goods a year ago.
Just looking to close out the, uh, put it back in place.
Any questions by committee Alderman
Wags pack moves to pass.
All in favor say aye.
Any nos and the opinion
of the cheers the ayes have at the motion is passed.
We'd also like to recognize Alder Woman Nugent.
Next on the agenda is
I number 4 0 2 0 2 4 dash
0 1 2 2 0 3.
An ordinance to amend the Municipal Code
of Chicago lifting subsection four dash six
12.28.
Can I see 2 8 6 to allow the issuance
of additional package goods license on portion
of Archer Avenue and Alder person
Ramirez's Ward, the 12th Ward.
The chair recognizes Billy Drew.
Uh, good morning Chairwoman Silverstein.
I'm members of the Committee on
License and Consumer Protection.
My name is William Drew, chief of staff
for Twelvefold Alderman, uh, Julio Ramirez.
I'm here on her behalf to testify in support of item number
O 2024 dash 0 0 1 2 2 0 3 in ordinance
to amend the Municipal Code of Chicago lifting subsection
four dash 6 0 2 3
0.286 to allow for the issuance
of additional packaged goods licenses
and the portions of Archer Avenue.
Uh, the reason for this ordinance is to allow
for the Jewel Grocery Store located at 36 44 South Archer
Avenue to file for a change
of officers on their existing license.
Uh, as many of you know, the licensee jewel
for Jewel Food Stores Inc.
Uh, slash American Drugstores, LLC,
and their parent company, Albertson's Company Inc.
Is part of a corporate merger involving the Kroger company
and Albertson Companies Inc.
Once completed the merger will result in a change, uh,
to the ultimate ownership of the licensee,
which will necessitate the filing of a change of officers,
uh, with BACP.
Uh, please note that the change of officers will not, uh,
will result in no changes to the licensee itself
or the day-to-Day business operations of the licensee.
Uh, the current management team will remain unchanged
and the location will continue to offer a full range
of grocery, pharmacy, and other consumer items.
We ask for your favorable consideration on this item.
Thank you.
Any Alderman
Conrad? It's, it's my
understanding
that the Federal Trade Commission is trying
to block this merger, which is why I've asked
for the similar, uh, stuff in, in the 34th Ward to be held.
I believe that applies here. Uh, Mr.
Drew, but any response to that or anything like that?
Um, no, I wasn't aware of that.
Um, so
Do we have any objections?
I you're objecting?
Uh, yeah, I I guess I'm not objecting.
I I I think it probably makes more sense for us to hold this
to find out what's, what's, uh, going on.
But I Okay. Prefer to the committee on that.
Um, we will, without, without trying to be,
Since you're, since you're holding yours,
we're gonna hold this one as well.
I can't, do we have
So, and, and please, please correct me.
'cause the last thing I wanna do is jam
up something that's not in my ward.
But the, the reason we're, the reason the, the,
the license is, is being asked for today,
it's my understanding is because of the Kroger Albertsons
merger, which the Federal Trade
Commission's trying to block.
So it may not actually go through in the first place.
Hold for one second, please. Yeah, I would,
Can you make a motion to hold? Yeah,
I'd like to make a motion to hold this
matter. Madam Chairwoman.
All in favor? Aye. Any objections?
This matter will be held. Thank you.
We'll move on to item

And actually Madam Chair, it's to disallow.
Um, what we're doing here is we're replacing a moratorium
that was lifted to allow Dom's, um, market
to open in a former whole food space at 30 West Huron.
Um, but in light of, uh, Dom's announcement
that they closed all their stores back in April, uh,
the space remains vacant.
And so therefore we want to reinstate the moratorium
that has been, um,
protecting this particular corner from bad actors.
So with that, I'd appreciate, and I vote
Thank you for the Think Itally noticed improperly on
