There is still no agreement on a proposal that would redraw Chicago's ward map despite a two-hour meeting Sunday.
The latest meeting comes as the racial makeup of the city changes and the city council tries to best represent that change.The Chair of Rules Committee convened the meeting, which was streamed live, about the proposed re-map of the city's wards."I encourage us to get together today, roll up our sleeves [and] work together," said rules committee chair and 8th Ward alderman, Michelle Harris.
"We're hoping we can get to that compromise and we can get to that map through this process, but if we can't get to that, I think we're all prepared to let the voters of the city of Chicago decide," said Ald. Carlos Ramirez Rosa, 35th Ward. "I'm hopeful but then you saw two of their members get up in that space and shout, We're going to referendum,'" Harris said.
