Ald. Flores Gets Backing On Olympic Cap
It looks like Ald. Manny Flores (1st) has a bit of company in his bid to cap Olympic spending. Earlier this week, Flores introduced an ordinance to the City Council and so far 10 more aldermen have signed on to back the cap. They are, according to the Tribune:
- Robert Fioretti (2nd)
- Leslie Hairston (5th)
- Freddrenna Lyle (6th)
- Sandi Jackson (7th)
- Ricardo Munoz (22nd)
- Sharon Denise Dixon (24th)
- Scott Waguespack (32nd)
- Richard Mell (33rd)
- Eugene Schulter (47th)
- Joe Moore (49th)
In addition to the cap, Ald. Flores is also leading a group of aldermen who want a third-party auditor to look at the Chicago 2016 bid cost projections.
Update: Add Willie Cochran (20th) to the list.
