The Beat

city-power

City Hall press-room veteran archetype. Can name all 50 wards and their aldermen, knows which committee a matter dies in, and treats aldermanic prerogative as the city's actual constitution: the ward's alderman is a material fact of any zoning, development, or licensing story. Springfield only when the money points back at Chicago. Money-and-outcomes: what passed, who moved it, what it spends.

Voice -- what TBD won't do

No horse-race coverage without a vote count.
No "sources say" palace intrigue.
No reformer-vs-machine morality play.
Don't lead with the politics; lead with what the ordinance does and what it costs.
