⛈️ Heavy rains are expected to continue throughout today. 15th Ward Residents are asked to take precaution to protect themselves and their property. 🌊 If you experienced basement flooding, please call the 15th Ward Office today to report the issue. We will be checking messages…
250K people on the south/southside impacted by flooding & this is your priority today?
We are pleased with the court’s decision to dismiss the Justice Department’s lawsuit against our city. This ruling affirms what we have long known: that Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance is lawful and supports public safety. Chicago cannot be compelled to cooperate with the…
I’ve learned from credible sources that most of the @MWRDGC reservoirs were below their intake capacity during today’s storms. For much of Chicago, everything north of 87th, our water flows to the McCook Resevoir. That location was only 40% filled around 2-230p yet plenty of…
I wonder if the locks were open to release pressure on the drains, or if everything was closed, thereby causing so much water to come up into people’s basements, mine included. @MWRDGC @ChicagoWater

This is your reminder - 50 hostages are still being held captive in Gaza. This Shabbat, we are all praying for their safe and swift return. 🎗️LET THEM GO NOW! 📸 @ArnonBossani
The @ChicagoWater Dept is intentionally not cleaning sewers and catch basins to their fullest & most equitable potential. My office has manually entered every new, post-remap sewer & catch basin in the 15th Ward only to have DWM close all tickets & ask us to trust them to get to…
Assuming this is the same for @AldermanTabares Ward 23. Neighbors are saying catch basins used to be cleaned annually when Rahm was mayor. Seems to have dropped off &/or stopped under Lightfoot &/or Johnson. Will alderman get wards back on a schedule to help minimize flooding?
I believe preventative maintenance is crucial to improving the quality of life within the ward and indeed the entire city. Over the last decade, I have proactively pushed for enhanced parking enforcement, rodent abatement, garbage cart replacement, tree trimming and, yes,…

Classic - I quote it more often than I care to admit
If you want to feel really old, Caddyshack was released 45 years ago today…
Can’t do too much outdoors, might as well make the most of it (without an autopen)!
How does a building with no interior plumbing use half million gallons of water a month….
Attention 15th Ward Residents Please report any tree emergency immediately to my office at 773-823-1539 or at the15thward.org so we can address them immediately!
Happy Friday Chicago - starting the day with toast & cinnamon coffee! And yes, I refuse to use a plate just for toast 😕
I'm in Indiana for the Pierogi 5K - did hell freeze over in Chicago once I left?

Severe Thunderstorm Warning continues for Chicago IL, Cicero IL and Oak Lawn IL until 3:30 PM CDT. This storm will contain wind gusts to 70 MPH!
Congratulations to my guy @sltionsnresrces doing the Lord’s work on the street ✝️
FBI Chicago is proud to present the division's 2024 Director's Community Leadership Award (DCLA) to Reverend Dr. Donovan E. Price, Sr., Th.D., who has selflessly stepped in to help others in their greatest hour of need since 2016. The DCLA was created in 1990 to honor individuals…
