Reader comments closed for the weekend
Friday, Dec 15, 2023 - Posted by Rich Miller * Another reminder to click here and help Lutheran Social Services of Illinois buy Christmas presents for foster kids. Thanks! * The city’s aldermanic briefing on new arrivals just landed in my in-box. A total of 26 buses arrived in the previous seven days for a total of 1,111 people. But the number of asylum-seekers at police stations and O’Hare airport is down to just 339, from 575 last Friday and more than 3,000 earlier this year. Most, 228, are currently at O’Hare. According to the city, 767 people exited the shelter system during the past week, for a grand total of 11,069. The city also has a cost dashboard online, so click here for that. * You can continue nominating in today’s Golden Horseshoe awards post throughout the weekend. I’ll still be able to see your comments. * Elvis will play us out… Got no sleigh with reindeer
