CHICAGO — As they prepare for the possibility that voters will decide Chicago’s new ward boundaries, Latino aldermen have teamed up with a progressive group on a proposed new map.
The news comes as Black and Latino City Council members, who are fighting over the ward design, can’t even agree on how many Latino-majority wards were created in the last remap a decade ago.
Without that basic point of understanding in negotiations, an agreement on a new map becomes much more difficult and a referendum more likely.
