Three conservative members of the Chicago City Council blocked a scheduled vote Wednesday on a measure to spend $51 million from the city’s 2021 budget surplus to help care for migrants sent to Chicago from Texas.
That has risen more than 55% in two weeks, an indication the humanitarian crisis facing the city continues to accelerate.
The proposal could come back for a vote at the next meeting of the Chicago City Council, now set for May 31 — three weeks earlier than usual. City officials are scrambling to open additional shelters and respite centers, but have identified few locations equipped to house at least 100 people. Plans to create a shelter at the vacant South Shore High School touched off a political firestorm.
