Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s plan to roll back the witching hour and age of Chicago’s seldom-enforced weekend curfew cleared a key legislative hurdle on Friday despite an avalanche of opposition.
Burke said it is "ridiculous" and utterly "preposterous" to strengthen an existing curfew law that "doesn’t seem to even be enforced or, if it is enforced, is not effective or is not enforced against the parent or guardian, or is not enforced against the owner operator of an establishment who knowingly allows a minor to remain on the premises."
None have been forthcoming. Instead, Brown has "jumped from strategy to strategy" depending on the latest headline, the alderperson said. Ald. Matt Martin pointed to what happened in Washington, D.C., when a curfew rollback had a "negative impact" on youth violence. Martin said "pumping the brakes" to make certain that won’t happen here makes more sense.Chicago's Millennium Park is normally a popular attraction for families and tourists, but on Saturday night, a teenage boy was shot and killed there. Nate Rodgers reports.
