Today one of the items on the agenda is the Chicago Children's Museum's proposed relocation into Grant Park. Clout City already has a prediction on how the votes will come down. If you're at a computer at this moment you can watch the session online thru the Chicago City Clerk website.
11:19 AM - Looks like they're finally on the item regarding the Chicago Children's Museum. There were some chuckles with the mayor presiding over the city asked if they're ready. I suppose they know there's a lot of passion in the air regarding this issue. A minute has passed with Ald. Brendan Reilly of the 42nd Ward talking about his opposition to the museum moving to Grant Park.
12:51 PM - Alderman Ed Balcer of the 11th ward didn't make any substance just said that this is a great country because of this debate. And reminds us to fly the flag on June 14th.
12:52 PM - Ald. Lyle is speaking on this issue talking about how she sent children to these museums around the city. She didn't have much of a chance to research this issue. At 12:56 she said she'll vote for the children's museum. She does this mentioning that people in the ward talked about taking basketball hoops and baseball fields out of the park. She closes out by saying that when "you bought a house and it was a park there then and it will be a park now."
1:09 PM - Clout Street is liveblogging the debate over the Children's Museum. I just found this over at the Capitol Fax.
1:41 PM - Ordinance has passed!
