an omission in her city ethics filing. Candidates are required to list whether they served as an employee or leader at any business from which they had an interest of more than $1,000 in 2021. But Clay did not list a business she ran that received just under $42,000 federal Payroll Protection Program loans that year.The omission was a mistake she quickly corrected, Clay told the Tribune.

It’s been an animating issue in the ward for decades, where multiple protests have broken out over large luxury developments.
Rising property taxes and costly repairs could force owners to sell or hike rents, Walz said. “In order to keep rents stable, you have to continue to build more housing” to meet demand.Just north of the 46th Ward is the 48th Ward, where small business owner Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth and affordable housing developer Joe Dunne emerged victorious in February from a 10-person field to succeedand represent parts of Andersonville, Edgewater and Uptown.

Campaign finance watchdogs say the practice effectively erodes the firewall that’s supposed to exist between super PACs and the candidates they support.
