Week in Review: City Council Votes on ShotSpotter; Tension Between Mayor and CPS CEO

Mayor Brandon Johnson tells CPS CEO Pedro Martinez to resign, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Board of Education adopts a five-year education plan that prioritizes neighborhood public schools.

The Chicago City Council voted 33-14 to, once again, rebuke Johnson’s decision to scrap the city’s controversial gunshot detection system, ShotSpotter. The mayor said he’ll veto it.

And a judge declared a mistrial after a jury deadlocked in their deliberations in the case of an ex-AT&T boss accused of bribing longtime Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.
