606 trail downzoning plan poses test for Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

Alderman sells property at high price before downzoning it.

But he’s for “affordable” (to whom?) housing, so he’s politically correct.

Is he ethically correct?

Can there be a conflict?

Mayor Lori, champion of both ethical and correct, has a hard choice.
