Even in the Civil War, the Confederate flag never got close the Capitol. More than 150 years later, the sight of a man casually carrying one outside the Senate floor was a piercing reminder of the persistence of white supremacism. nyti.ms/3nrO6he

Confederate Flag an Unnerving Sight in Capitol (Published 2021)

It was “outrageous” to see a man carry the flag inside the Capitol, something not even Confederate soldiers were able to do during the Civil War, historians said.

The audio from the news conferences is clear. The mayor repeatedly said parking meters weren't a safety violation and wouldn't be the focus of ticketing. But behind-the-scenes City Hall ordered CPM to ticket expired meters because they were a safety violation.

The @chicagotribune got it wrong. And then the editorial board doubled down, said we had a "covert change of heart" & made a "rash, unnecessary decision..." I won't let anyone mischaracterize programs that we put in place to help people or create cynicism about what we're doing.
