The first order of business is public comment which opener with Tyjuan Sims. He says he plans to not get kicked out of any City Council meetings this year to witness exactly how the city will get around $1.12 billion in debt stemming from the migrant arrival.

The next up is the infamous George Blakemore wearing red “Make America Great” hat with the word “Again” painted over in white.

Anthony Pruitt is saying he’s “here to speak the truth.” He poses the following questions: “why are we selling off our property to the highest bidders? Why are new arrivals getting red carpet treatment while CPS is millions in debt & doing layoffs weeks before school begins?”

Last up is Zoey Lee. She is here to make sure that Brandon Johnson is not re-elected and wants to expose that he is stealing money from his infrastructure account to fund his next campaign.

Committee votes to accept the Monthly Rule 45 report for June 2025.
