I don’t have any pics from the 2016 election. At the time, I was at ⁦ @thedailylinechi ⁩ and all we cared about were City Council + County Board elections. But here’s a pic I took of ⁦ @claudiamorell ⁩ inside our “podcast studio” which was a giant insulated box in Nov16.

To whoever swiped the boxes from my front stoop: enjoy your books on negotiation and influence in organizations and… oven bake clay.

Well this is a change. The head of Chicago's Office of Financial Analysis, Kenneth Williams, has recommended ~$55 million in potential reductions from CPD's budget, including for things like tuition reimbursement, uniform allowance, supervisor quarterly pay and specialty pay.

I got to speak with Karen Lewis for my first Crain's story. She told me about being nervous for a visit to House Speaker Mike Madigan's office after SB7 passed. I said I was surprised to hear her say that – she was always presented as the dynamo that scared everybody else. 1/x

I haven’t had the inspirational red line operator in a while. What a nice surprise (95th bound). A message for students today: “stay focused, study smart, yes you’ll go far… have a wonderful day and thanks for riding the CTAAAAAAAAAy red line.”
