Famous comedian wants to build youth center on West Side Hannibal Burress says he’s bought office building, has early plans for project By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

Comedian and Galewood native Hannibal Buress is planning to open a community youth center in the community where he grew up, at Monumental Office building, 6120-6114 W. North Ave., 29th Ward Ald. Chris Taliaferro announced during a candidate forum on Feb. 5, held at Michele Clark High School, 5101 W. Harrison St. During a follow-up interview, Taliaferro said that Buress approached him with the proposal “about a month ago.” The alderman said that the proposal is still in the initial stages and that he wants to hold community meetings deeper into the planning process. Buress is a comedian, a writer and an actor whose career took off roughly a decade ago. In October 2014, his comedy routine touching on rape allegations against Bill Cosby went viral, bringing renewed scrutiny to the allegations. In a Dec. 21, 2017, interview with the Chicago Reader, Buress said he grew up near See BURRESS on page 4

Leaders do post-mortem on Hatchery’s outreach efforts

During Jan. 24 City Bureau event, experts dissected what went right, wrong with The Hatchery’s engagement process By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

Mike Tomas, the executive director of the Garfield Park Community Council, readily admitted that the community benefit agreement

for the much-discussed Hatchery food incubator didn’t work out quite as he had hoped. The admission came during a public meeting on Jan. 24 at 345 Art Gallery, 345 N. Kedzie Ave. The meeting, hosted by City Bureau, a South Side-based nonprofit journalism lab,

is formally called a Public Newsroom and City Bureau hosts them regularly as ways to inform and engage Chicago residents on a range of issues. At last month’s Newsroom, various community groups, including the Community Council, explored ways the incubator succeeded and failed at engaging community residents. See HATCHERY on page 4

HATCHERY

Going forward from page 1 Aside from Tomas, the panel included Jawanza Malone, executive director of Kenwood Oakland Community Organization (KOCO); Aysha Butler, president of the Resident Association of Greater Englewood (RAGE); and Amalia NietoGomez, executive director of the South Chicago-based Alliance of the Southeast (ASE). As some on the panel mentioned, KOCO is the oldest organization of the four and it has the most experience crafting community benefit agreements. In fact, Tomas mentioned that KOCO helped his organization “with some early planning” for the Hatchery community benefit agreement. KOCO was able to successfully get the city to approve a CBA for Chicago’s ultimately failed Olympic bid, and it is currently working on the agreement for the Obama Presidential Library. ASE is working on the CBA for Southworks U.S. Steel power plant site, which has seen a number of development proposals that never quite took off. The Hatchery benefits agreement was written in a form of a Memorandum of Understanding that was included in the redevelopment agreement between the City of Chicago and the two entities who currently co-own the food incubator: Accion Chicago and Industrial Council of Northwest Chicago. With RAGE, as Butler explained, they were able to negotiate a deal with Englewood’s Whole Foods store that included community input on design. And vendor and job opportunities for locals. While Butler said she has been pleased with how it initially worked out, the Whole Foods executive RAGE negotiated with is no longer with the company, and she was worried whether their agree-

ment would be enforceable in the long run. When asked about the process, Tomas described the process as complicated, saying that initially, residents got very territorial, because Accion and ICNC wanted to build the Hatchery on the site of the Garfield Park Farmers Market. One of the major criticisms of the process was that the organizations responsible for outreach, including the Community Council, the Industrial Council and Accion, did not do much outreach. Tomas admitted that he focused primarily on residents who already attended the Community Council’s regular meetings, which are held every fourth Wednesday of the month and are open to the public. Tomas added, however, that the organization did do additional outreach, which provided them with more feedback. Based on that feedback, Tomas said that he learned that residents wanted some kind of ownership stake, a physical indoor space for the farmers market and resident involvement in whatever governing structure would control the Hatchery. “Our memorandum of understanding focused on what our [community] leaders [and] our active residents focused on,” he said. “But for other groups, and other interests, I’ll be honest — it wasn’t our focus. Our focus is on our residents.” Tomas readily acknowledged that there was pushback, even from within his organization. And he conceded that they didn’t get any ownership stake. “One of my lessons learned is that you can only take it as far as your internal staff and our internal team and your board of directors can take that,” Tomas reflected. “We had to come to compromise internally.” By contrast, NeitoGomez said that, when it came to the SouthWorks benefits agreement, her organization tried to work with groups that were against the agreement and incorporate their priorities.

BREAKING IT DOWN: Mike Tomas, Jawanza Malone, Aysha Butler and Amalia NietoGomez. “When you’re dealing with pushback, I think there’s a lot of compromise,” she said. “You incorporate it, or there’s some negotiations.” While NeitoGomez said, while there were two groups that still didn’t support it, at the end of the day, they didn’t speak out against the CBA either. Tomas also mentioned that the Community Council was forced to work within relatively short deadlines and it wasn’t privy to all the project details. “The city wanted to have our memorandum signed and completed before they did the redevelopment agreement,” he said. “We got as much as we could with our [agreement], but we weren’t privy to negotiations that were going on between city and [Accion and ICNC] regarding TIF [Tax Increment Financing] assistance.” If his organization knew about the TIF funds, Tomas said, they would have pressed for more — after all, he said, TIF is taxpayer funding, and taxpayers should have more of a say in how it’s spent. “I think our mayoral candidates should be looking at the TIF reform,” he said. “When a TIF is enacted or TIF funds are used, there

should be an opportunity for the local community to own some of that development coming into the neighborhood.” Tomas explained that he was thinking specifically of giving residents an opportunity to invest in whatever development comes into their community. Once the development is up and running, the residents would get a small share of the profits or some other kind of return on their investment. Malone said that he would ultimately prefer a city-wide measure that would mandate community benefit agreements if the project is valued at a certain amount of money. When asked about how the benefit agreements are enforced, Tomas said that the Hatchery co-owners are required to make annual compliance reports to show how they are meeting hiring targets and other agreement requirements. Butler said that her organization has been visiting Whole Foods and talking to vendors—ways to see if the benefit agreement is being enforced. Malone said that making sure the agreement has teeth has, in his experience dealing with benefit agreements, been the hardest part of the process. “The city’s law department will fight tooth and nail to make sure the enforcement mechanism is as weak as possible,” he said. “You have to work hard to make sure that there is some sort of legal consequence if the developer doesn’t do what they agreed to do. If they don’t want enforcement the mechanism in place, then they don’t plan to deliver on their promises.” And all panelists agreed that something needs to be put in place to make sure that the developments that get city funds, especially retail developments, actually stay in the community. “We worked hard on that CVS pharmacy on Madison/Kedzie,” Tomas reflected. “It stayed open less than three years.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

BURRESS

Plans ahead from page 1 the intersection of North Avenue and Austin Boulevard. He currently lives in Wicker Park. In the interview, he mentioned his plans to build the community youth center. “I just bought this place on the west side, a commercial building where I want to start offering some art classes, writing classes, music classes — that type of thing,” he was quoted as saying. “I gotta find a structure to it now that I have a mortgage in place. The idea is for kids on the west side, if you don’t play sports and you’re 14, there’s something else for you to do.” Taliaferro confirmed that Burress’s prospective center would be in the Monumental Office Building, a two-story office building that was originally built in 1958. Taliaferro said that, to the best of his knowledge, Buress owned the building. He

Burress grew up on the West Side. said that the vision the comedian shared with him was similar to what he outlined in the Chicago Reader interview, which is for a community center that would provide afterschool opportunities for the youth. Attempts to independently verify the ownership of the Monumental property, and to

reach out to Burress and his representatives for comment, were unsuccessful. “We had an initial meeting with his representatives and with Mr. Buress as well, just to go over the proposed idea,” he said. “We talked about the benefits it could bring to the community and to our young men and young women

with afterschool programming and tutoring. I thought it would be excellent for the ward and as the result, we’re going to continue.” The alderman said that he expected that the project would require some zoning changes. He said that “Once Buress is prepared to move forward with community meetings, we will certainly move forward with community meetings,” he said.

Two essential books on black history

This Black History Month, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most important books on African American (and, therefore, American) history published within the last three years. Taken together, they provide a painstakingly detailed counter-argument to some of the basic assumptions about African Americans (about the minority group and the exceptional individuals within it) that have been allowed to fester in our cultural imagination over the centuries. Read these books and experience the thrill of your long-held assumptions about black history and culture melting away. Michael Romain

‘Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom’ by David Blight (2018)

“Time has a way of sanding off the rough edges of historical memory, turning even the most convulsive, contentious lives into opportunities for national triumphalism and self-congratulation. With ‘Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom,’ the historian David W. Blight wants to enrich our understanding of an American in full who, for more than half his life, wasn’t even legally recognized as such. Now that Douglass is enshrined on his pedestal, shorn of what made him ‘thoroughly and beautifully human,’ Blight notes how the ‘old fugitive slave” has been ‘adopted by all elements in the political spectrum,’ eager to claim him as their own […] “Blight, who has edited and annotated volumes of Douglass’s autobiographies, undertakes this project with the requisite authority and gravity. The result is comprehensive, scholarly, sober; Blight is careful to tell us what cannot be known, including the persistent mystery of Douglass’s father (who was most likely white, and may have been Frederick’s mother’s owner). On the stuff that’s known, Blight is an attentive if sometimes fastidious guide, poring over speeches and texts with the critical equivalent of a magnifying glass. Douglass, Blight says, was a ‘man of words,’ making this book ‘the biography of a voice.’” (Excerpt from Oct. 17, 2018 New York Times review by Jennifer Szalai).

‘The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap’ by Mehrsa Baradaran (2017)

“In the months following the election of Donald J. Trump as president, momentum gathered to unite anti-racist and antipoverty advocacy in the resurrection of the Poor People’s Campaign — an effort Martin

Luther King Jr. was beginning at the time of his death in 1968. Organizers bill the campaign as ‘[a] National Call for Moral Revival […] uniting tens of thousands of people across the country to challenge the evils of systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation and the nation’s distorted morality.’ The campaign holds the promise that political activism aimed at racism and economic privation may finally be wedded in ways that the Occupy Wall Street movement failed to achieve. But this recent history doesn’t do justice to the long and complicated history of the tension between the two. “That history is told in gripping detail by Mehrsa Baradaran in her book The Color of Money. Ostensibly a history of “black banking,” The Color of Money actually tells the tale of racism and poverty experienced by black people in the United States from its very inception. Further, it chronicles the historical failure of supposed anti-racist victories, from emancipation to civil rights legislation, to substantially change the designated bottom-rung position of black people within the US economy. This failure is evident in recent studies showing that black wealth is actually decreasing while white wealth is continuing to grow. But the history Baradaran marshals gives extensive evidence of why the wealth gap has persisted and deepened. For one, emancipation did not come with a hand up to freed slaves in the form of the proverbial 40 acres and a mule. In fact, the plan floated within the newly created US Freedmen’s Bureau was not to grant 40 acres, but to mortgage it, with newly freed slaves needing to produce a 40 percent down payment on a subsidized parcel. After Lincoln’s assassination, President Andrew Johnson scuttled even that plan. Instead, free blacks were forced into coercive cotton sharecropping arrangements. The endless indebtedness of sharecroppers to plantation owners in these arrangements meant that both the “economic order” and ‘the lives of freedmen’ were ‘virtually unchanged’ by emancipation. In the place of real economic change came the Freedmen’s Savings and Trust Company, the first of many government interventions based on the idea that through black banking and ‘black capitalism,’ black people’s economic status could be improved without changes to the dominant economy.” (Excerpt from March 19, 2018 Los Angeles Review of Books review by Armond Towns and Carolyn Hardin).

State Senate votes for $15 minimum wage The bill, which makes minimum $15 by 2025, moved to the House last week

By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois

SPRINGFIELD – A bill to raise Illinois’ minimum wage passed the state Senate on partisan lines on Feb. 7 after Gov. J.B. Pritzker made a personal appeal to Democratic lawmakers at a private caucus prior to the vote. Senate Bill 1 received only Democratic votes as it passed by a 39-18 margin, putting the onus on the Illinois House to get the bill to Pritzker’s desk by his requested deadline of Feb. 20, when he is scheduled to give his budget address. While no Republicans voted for the bill – and several spoke against it on the floor citing concerns about businesses leaving the state, unforeseen costs on schools and universities, and the potential for job loss for low-wage employees – Pritzker said conservative voices helped shape the legislation. “I talked personally with several senators to make sure their ideas were incorporated. I talked with many of the interest groups that represent businesses, and Republican interests, to incorporate those into the bill,” Pritzker said during a news conference in his office at which no elected Republicans were present. Interest groups are expected to continue to lobby for changes when the bill is heard in the House – particularly for an amendment to include a regional rollout of the minimum wage for lower rates downstate. But Rep. Will Guzzardi, a Chicago Democrat and SB1’s House sponsor, said as far as he’s concerned, his chamber should approve the current Senate version. “I feel very confident that we will pass Senate Bill 1 as the Senate passed it,” Guzzardi said. “I don’t see the need for us to make any further changes to the legislation right here before us.”

Current Details If approved as is, the minimum wage will be phased in over six years, starting with an increase from $8.25 to $9.25 on Jan. 1, 2020, before increasing to $10 on July 1, 2020, and $11 on Jan. 1, 2021. After that, it would increase by $1 every year until it hits $15 in 2025. Kimberly Lightford, a Maywood Democrat and the bill’s Senate sponsor, said compromise is reflected in the six-year rollout and in a small business tax credit which won’t affect Chicago businesses until the wage exceeds Chicago’s minimum, which is currently $12. The tax credit is available to businesses with fewer than 50 “full-time equivalent” employees, which means businesses that pay less than 2,000 employee hours in a one-week period. The credit would start at 25 percent of the difference between the current minimum wage and an employee’s wage in the final quarter of the previous calendar year. It would decrease by 4 percent each year until it hits 5 percent in the final two years. Employers with 2,000 or fewer employee hours will be able to take advantage of the credit for 7 years, while employees with 200 or fewer employee hours will be able to take advantage of the credit for 8 years.

Republican Concerns But Senate Republicans said those assurances are not enough for businesses, and the wages would force property tax hikes by increasing costs for K-12 schools, and will lead to greater requests for state appropriations from colleges and universities. Sen. Jason Barickman, a Bloomington Republican, said he was told by Illinois State University the bill would cost $600,000 in year one alone due to the campus’s employment of 5,000 to 6,000 student employees. “That same story, I believe, is going to be told by countless community colleges and four-year institutions around our state,” Barickman said. “We all know they are going to come

Capitol News Illinois

GOING UP?: Gov. J.B. Pritzker is joined by minimum wage advocates in his office for a news conference on Feb. 7 following the Senate’s vote to approve Senate Bill 1, which raises the state’s minimum wage to $15 per hour over a 6-year period. here and ask Illinois for more money. They were going to do that before this proposal. Now they are going to have to ask for even more.” Sen. Chapin Rose, a Mahomet Republican, said when fully implemented, the wage increase would represent a 17 percent cut to the general revenue fund for Eastern Illinois University, and a 12 percent cost for University of Illinois systemwide, with a $57 million effect on the Champaign-Urbana campus alone. But Pritzker said during his news conference that higher wages for people in college towns increases economic activity, and Lightford said universities are in poor financial situations as a residual effect of a budget impasse presided over by Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. Sen. Dale Fowler, a Harrisburg Republican, said he surveyed about 15 companies from his district and invariably heard three words: “layoffs, closures and cutbacks.” Sen. Dale Righter, a Mattoon Republican, said he feared businesses in his district would move across state lines to Indiana, which has a lower minimum wage than Illinois’ current one. Rose said several school districts in his district said they would have to cut employees or aids or pass expenses on to families with raised fees. “If people think this is going to be, somehow, magic beans for central Illinois, it’s not,” he said. “There’s going to be real repercussions.”

A ‘Moral Issue’ Democratic senators, including Toi Hutchinson of Olympia Fields, said the vote was a moral one and $8.25 is a poverty wage. “In 2019, if you have ever said nobody that works full time should ever live in poverty, today is your day to do something about it. Don’t tell me what you believe in. Show me,” she said. Lightford, who has sponsored four minimum wage bills since 2010, painted the vote as a moral one too, while emphasizing that business interests were part of conversations throughout.

“The business credit is important because Democrats care about business too,” she said. “A $15 minimum wage increase actually creates economic activity. It decreases the reliance on government.” As an olive branch to the Illinois Restaurant Association, which became a proponent of the bill, a tip-credit will remain in the law. It allows employers to pay 60 percent of the minimum wage to tipped employees. It will be accompanied by provisions to guard against wage theft, including increasing the amount that can be recovered when wages are underpaid.

A Balanced Budget? Pritzker’s office anticipated yearly increases to the state budget from $82 million to $270 million until the cost is about $1.1 billion each year by the time the wage hits $15 in 2025. This is because the bill accounts for increased appropriations by 3 to 5 percent to some human service programs and direct service providers as well as costs for state employee raises. This increase does not account for increased demands for extra funding for nursing homes, hospitals, colleges, universities and some other state agencies and human services providers. There is also more anticipated revenue from income taxes to help offset those costs. Between 2020 and 2026, income tax revenues are expected to increase by varying amounts between $20 million and $96 million each year, even when accounting for increased income tax credits the bill would make available to businesses. By 2026, income taxes revenue will have increased by nearly $400 million from 2019. Despite added revenues being less than the costs, Pritzker said he will present a balanced budget on Feb. 20. “We are going to be presenting a balanced budget that includes the cost of the minimum wage,” he said, offering no further details as to how that would be accomplished.

Chicago is in need of healing

C

hicago needs healing. The primary responsibility for that healing will lie at the feet of the next mayor. That person will have to take a city that has been ingrained with corruption at every level of government, mortified by the video of the murder of Laquan McDonald, devastated by the billions of dollars in pension-fund deficit, lead us in fixing all our economic woes, while at the same time deal with the reality of crime and the perception of crime. We are a city losing its middle class taxpayers while at the same time gaining a populace whose economic wealth pales in comparison to the wealth that left. We are becoming a tale of poor Chicago, wealthy Chicago, and underground Chicago. We need a balanced scale and not one tipped heavily in favor of any of those areas. I doubt that we will ever have a squeaky clean individual as mayor. The litmus test for that type of individual has long since shown that they don’t exist. The internet allows all sorts of indiscretions from the past to become current news. Sex scandals, blackface scandals, money scandals and everything else. Anything that can be documented or manufactured is brought up to go against a person so that the emphasis can be on everything but doing the job and fixing the actual problems. At the same time, the person who is elected mayor is already spending time contemplating their re-election. How does the next mayor start a campaign to make the people living here be Chicagoans again? I believe it starts with living in a city where we are not victims of it. As Chicagoans, we should not be seen as an endless fountain of financial resources which makes living here hell. I am tired of

red light cameras, speeding cameras, fines that double, water bills that are astronomical compared to people who live in the suburbs and buy their water from us, streets with alleys where developers have put in front driveways thus eliminating parking, those endless bike lanes on major artery streets that service a minor segment of the populace while affecting motorized vehicles that are simply attempting to get from point A to point B. I want a mayor who will make the city work again. I want a mayor who understands that many of the Chicago traditions that once made this a great place to live have been eradicated. I want to mayor who can unite the city as opposed to dividing it. I want a mayor who will truly work to reduce the number of aldermen. There’s no need for 50 of them. Technology and dwindling population should come in to play as the primary reasons for reducing the number of wards. The notion of 50 minifiefdoms has long since come and gone. I want the next mayor to do all he or she can to heal this city.

Willie D. Freeman, Prominent West Side singer dies at 75

The blues and soul singer was a staple in area nightclubs By BONNI McKEOWN Contributor

Local West Side blues and soul singer Willie D. Freeman, 75, of Austin, died on Feb. 7, after a long illness, according to his wife, Gladys. Freeman had lived on the West Side since moving to Chicago from Mississippi, when he was 20 years old. Born in Bentonia, Miss. in 1944, he came to the Windy City to stay with his sister at Racine and Cabrini. “I wanted to experience other parts of the world,” Freeman said during a previous interview. Willie knew he had a good singing voice. Down south, his older brother had played some guitar and bass, and their mother declared, “If you let Willie sing, the two of you could make some money.” Willie sang sometimes in the church choir, as well. Willie wasn’t so keen about working in the cotton fields. As a teenager his mother warned him to be careful, after he stood up to one of the white wagon drivers who had called Freeman’s mother and the young workers rude names. Willie went and got a

job in a saw mill, where he was able to earn an entire cotton worker’s weekly pay in only one day. When he arrived in Chicago, he was confident he’d find good-paying work with similar ease. Relatives got him a job cleaning offices and equipment. Later he drove delivery trucks, bringing beer to restaurants. In a downtown alley, he fought off enormous rats. “I picked up a brick and killed a 12-inch long rat,” Freeman recalled. “A man saw me and was so glad, he paid me $10.” In Chicago, he started going to Michelle’s Lounge, at Lotus and Madison, where Johnny Christian was singing with his band, the Playboys, which included Stan and Vern Banks on keyboard and guitar, Bald Head Pete on Drums and Big Pete on bass. Many different musicians, including Johnny B. Moore, Vance Kelly and the late Willie Davis, played with Christian, who toured the Midwest and had many fans all over the West Side. When Christian’s health declined and he couldn’t perform as much, he urged Freeman to put a band together: “You sing your heart out,” Freeman recalls Christian telling him. “I never know you to back up off a song. You get deep into it.” Christian died in 1933. Over the last 20 years, Freeman had carried on his mentor’s singing tradition in West Side clubs, including the Starlite, at

The family announced that funeral services for Freeman will be held Saturday Feb. 16, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Corbin’s Colonial Funeral Home, 5345 W. Madison, Chicago. The repast will be held next door following the service. CONTACT: bonni@barrelhousebonni.com.

29th Ward candidates pitch competing visions for Austin

Ald. Taliaferro, Zerlina Smith and Dwayne Truss debated during forum on Feb. 5 By SUZANNE McBRIDE AustinTalks

Ald. Chris Taliaferro made the case on Feb. 5 for 29th Ward residents to elect him to a second term, while challengers Zerlina A. Smith and Dwayne Truss said they’re better equipped to serve residents the next four years. The three candidates answered questions at Michele Clark Magnet High School, 5101 W. Harrison St., about a variety of issues, ranging from foreclosure and education to ethics and parking tickets. On several issues, the three agreed: All support term limits for the Chicago City Council, a moratorium on charter schools and an elected Chicago Board of Education. (The mayor appoints all its members; CPS is the only school district in the state with an appointed board.) But the candidates disagreed on whether aldermen should be allowed to work jobs outside their City Hall position. Both Smith and Truss said, if elected, they would only work as alderman. “That six-figure salary you make to rep-

resent your community should be your only job and your only focus,” Smith said. But Taliaferro said he doesn’t believe every source of outside income should be banned. When asked about a ProPublica Illinois and WBEZ investigation that found residents in black neighborhoods are ticketed at much higher rates than people living in white communities, Smith said fines should be wiped out for people who can’t pay their parking tickets. “If you make $14,000 a year, you shouldn’t be responsible for a $150 ticket.” Taliaferro said if the figures revealed by the media’s investigation are correct, then the City Council may need to take action. The former Chicago Police sergeant said officers who are targeting only certain communities to be ticketed should be fired, and the city’s finance department needs to be collecting fees fairly. But he said financially, the city couldn’t afford to throw out everyone’s ticket fines. Truss, who works as an auditor for the state, said it’s an alderman’s job to analyze trends before they get reported by the media. “Get ahead of the problem.” He suggested the city consider a sliding scale for paying tickets so it’s not such a regressive tax, and he said the city should not let fines double as they do now. The alderman said since being elected in 2015 — he beat incumbent Ald. Deborah Graham in a runoff that year — he’s brought more than $200 million in grants and other

funding to the ward. Taliaferro said Hostess now employs hundreds of people, and there are projects underway throughout the ward, including a $30 million youth center on North Avenue backed by comedian Hannibal Buress. The property has already been purchased, the alderman said. Smith, who works for the Institute for Nonviolence Chicago and was an outreach coordinator for state Rep. La Shawn Ford, said there needs to be safe places for young people in the south part of the ward. She wants to tap the $1.3 million in menu money the ward receives each year to put young people to work. But Taliaferro said that money can be spent only on infrastructure. Truss said for years, he’s been involved in the parks, a resource that is already here and needs to be leveraged. He said one difference between him and the incumbent alderman is that Taliaferro “goes along for the ride,” while Truss has been out advocating for the community. The longtime Austin resident said he lobbied hard in 2010 for the manufacturing program now based at the Austin High School campus. “The reality is that not everyone can and should go to college,” Truss said, adding there are all sorts of jobs — like auto mechanic — that pay well. Taliaferro agreed that not everyone goes to college and those who don’t should get the support they need. He said he’s been work-

ing with Douglass High School to implement a barber’s college for students who can get a state-certified license by the time they graduate. “If we can continue those kind of programs in our high schools, we can assure that our seniors who are graduating can get employed when they leave high school.” Smith said none of Austin schools are up to date when it comes to technology, and she advocated using the ward’s menu money on education. Taliaferro predicted the state would legalize marijuana in the next year or two and begin taxing the drug. He said he would make sure that money was used to supplement CPS’ budget. But Truss warned that what happened with the state lottery — it was promised to public schools but has been spent on other things — could happen with a marijuana tax. In addition, he said, “We have to make sure that the regular (education) funding is already locked in.” He pointed to 32-plus years of organizing and working with different groups on the West Side as to why residents should elect him on Feb. 26. Truss criticized the alderman, saying he has not engaging all of the residents of the ward and excluded some residents from major decisions, like what to do with the former Emmet School building that was purchased by the Westside Health Authority last year.
