Madigan is thinking… if you love something, set it free. If it is meant to be, it will return… or something like that I guess, there’s a great deal of pondering going on.
==Is Alderman Lopez planning a run for mayor of Chicago?==
He has been since May of 2019. Just waiting for Ed Burke to loan him his Rolodex so he can make it official. So far he’s established two solid planks on his campaign platform, which are 1) No one is nicer to CPD than I am, and 2) Lori won’t call on me in the Zoom meetings even though I have very clearly clicked the raised hand button.

==Is Alderman Lopez planning a run for mayor of Chicago?==
He has been since May of 2019. Just waiting for Ed Burke to loan him his Rolodex so he can make it official. So far he’s established two solid planks on his campaign platform, which are 1) No one is nicer to CPD than I am, and 2) Lori won’t call on me in the Zoom meetings even though I have very clearly clicked the raised hand button.
