While you were at work or taking care of your family, Mayor Daniel Biss was trying to quietly expand his own voting power and some of his most loyal councilmembers were all in.
But four councilmembers said, āNot so fast.ā šš¾ Clare Kelly. Tom Suffredin. Parielle Davis. Matt Rodgers. They didnāt just go along. They asked real questions. They used the good common sense God gave them. They pushed back on power grabs.
And Matt Rodgers? He called out the fact that Biss continues to let his allies walk out of the room when itās time to vote, a tactic that leaves you, the voter, unrepresented. The Mayor has had the power to stop this behavior all alongā¦ he just hasnāt. Wonder why?
Pay attention, Evanston.
Daniel Biss wears the ānice guyā mask well. But donāt be fooled by the words.
Watch the patterns. Watch the votes. Watch who stays silent when it counts.
š Why does the mayor need more voting power anyway?
š Why is leaving the dais allowed in the first place?
š And why is it the same handful of councilmembers always willing to challenge the system - while others just follow orders?
This isnāt just political procedure - itās how power is concentrated and voices are silenced. This is how democracy gets dressed up to look fair, while behind the scenes, decisions are made before you even show up.
š„ Watch the full 17-minute clip. Hear it. See it. Question everything.
Because this is about your voice in Evanston and whoās trying to control it.
