CHICAGO – The city of Chicago filed a lawsuit Monday against a northern Indiana gun store it claims is one of the main sources of illicit firearms for the city's criminal market.

Westforth Sports, Inc. in Gary, Indiana, has "engaged in a pattern of illegal sales that has resulted in the flow of hundreds, if not thousands, of illegal firearms into the City of Chicago," according to the lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County.

The suit, filed with the litigation arm of Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund and the law firm Mayer Brown LLP, seeks "long overdue accountability" in the form of unspecified damages and an order requiring the store to cease practices contributing to gun trafficking.

"I've worked tirelessly to reduce violence to keep our streets safe," Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said in a statement Monday. "Time and time again, however, it has become even more clear that holding accountable all those who contribute to gun violence here, regardless of where they are located, is key to our ability to create a safer Chicago."

Mayor Lightfoot's Proposal To Cut Off Retail Liquor Sales At 10 P.M. Does Not Sit Well With Some Merchants CHICAGO (CBS) — A part of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chi Biz Strong initiative is kicking off a firestorm of debate. The mayor is proposing a permanent 10 p.m. cutoff for alcohol sales at liquor stores, grocery stores, and convenience stores. Those businesses faced a 9 p.m. cutoff during the pandemic until Lightfoot moved back that curfew to 11 p.m. last fall. Previously, stores with packaged goods licenses had been allowed to sell most types of alcohol until 2 or 3 a.m. READ MORE: Watchdog Group Claims Ethics Violation After Would-Be Rival Said Rep. Marie Newman Scuttled Deal To Hire Him Lightfoot’s proposed change says: “No person holding a package goods license shall sell, permit to be sold, or give away any package goods between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on Mondays through Sundays, except that a supermarket may commence the sale of package goods at 8:00 a.m. on Sundays.” This goes for all alcohol – liquor, beer, or wine. As CBS 2’s Marissa Parra reported, the proposal is a recipe for a mixed bag of reactions from liquor store owners. “I want to hear more,” said Hardik Patel, owner of Lakeview Market. “For the safe side it’s good, and for the business side it’s bad.”“There does need to be some sort of curfew, but 10 o’clock is a little egregious,” said Adam Silverstein of Garfield’s Beverage. Chicagoans got their first taste of a liquor curfew with that 9 p.m. cutoff time during the start-time of the pandemic. Now, the city says in a release that a permanent 10 p.m. cutoff will “improve quality of life” and “support public safety.” Tanya Triche Dawood, vice president of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, said cutting hours is cutting sales – hurting stores that rely on liquor for their bottom line. “We haven’t seen any data that that has actually made a positive impact on public safety,” she said. READ MORE: 17 People Face Federal Charges In Operation Tragic Blow, Targeting Heroin And Cocaine Trade In Chicago We pressed the mayor on the issue at her news conference on Wednesday. “There was a lot of anecdotal evidence across the city that some of these businesses weren’t being good actors and weren’t taking care of what needed to be done to protect the quality of life of people in the neighborhoods,” Lightfoot said. Dawood retorted: “We’d like more than anecdotal claims, we deserve more than that, and heretofore we’ve not received anything from the city except from statements we aren’t sure are based in fact.” The Merchants Association believes the curfew puts them at an unfair advantage. “The winners would be restaurants and taverns and craft brewers,” Dawood said. “Rather than have a discussion with all of us, they’re just going to the next step. That’s unacceptable.” Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th) used a parliamentary maneuver to shuttle that proposal, along with much of the mayor’s business relief measures, to the City Council Rules Committee when Lightfoot introduced them to the City Council on Wednesday. Lopez’s move would essentially push back potential approval of the ordinances by a month, so the Rules Committee could assign the package to the proper committee for a debate and vote. According to published reports, Lopez said he was concerned that the mayor’s package includes lots of items people weren’t aware of before she introduced her plan to the City Council, and his maneuver would give aldermen more time to review it. Lightfoot called Lopez’s explanation “nonsense,” saying her package was based more than 100 meetings with various business groups, community groups, and aldermen. She also noted that she was simply introducing her proposal today, not asking aldermen for a vote.

That’s nonsense, when you’re talking about the mere introduction of a package that … are desperately needed” she said. “Alderman Lopez may not care about the urgency of helping our small businesses and moving things forward, but the rest of us do, and we will.” Source link Orbem News #chibizstrong #Cut #illinoisretailmerchantsassociation #Lightfoots #Liquor #liquorcurfew #liquorsales #marissaparra #Mayor #mayorlorilightfoot #Merchants #proposal #retail #sales #sit

New day, new era, new Chicago Mayor. There are a mountain of challenges ahead and a lot of stories for me to dig into and expose. Lori Lightfoot has her hands full and that includes cleaning up a few big messes. I’ll have more next week as I reveal an 8 year old handcuffed for 30 minutes - another bad police raid based on bad information. Innocent children and their mom forced out of their home at gun point. #mayorlorilightfoot #wrongraids #childhandcuffed #cbs2investigators Tuesday night at 10pm CBS2 http://bit.ly/2EwILl1

Man Fights To Clear Name In Murder Case, Says Chicago Offered Payout To Make Public Records Request Go Away CHICAGO (CBS) — Mayor Lori Lightfoot continues to hammer home the importance of transparency, especially when it comes to police misconduct. But CBS 2 Political Investigator Dana Kozlov has learned Tuesday city lawyers are heading back to court to try to keep hundreds of police misconduct records from being released. It all began with one man’s public records request, which the city ignored, in his fight to clear his name. RELATED: Chicago Weather: Parts Of Area Get Another 4 Inches Of Snow Or More The city then offered him $500,000 to make his records request go away, but there was never a payout. Those police misconduct records remain sealed. “The city’s commitment to transparency over its police accountability systems is not real.  It is fake,” said attorney Jared Kosoglad. Kosoglad represents Charles Green, convicted at age 16 for taking part in a 1985 quadruple murder. In 2009, Green was released from prison after a judge ruled critical testimony wasn’t allowed at his trial. He later filed a Freedom of Information Act request for five decades of closed Chicago Police records “to help him discover evidence of his innocence.”   The city never responded. Green sued to get those records released, and that’s when city attorneys made an offer. “They were trying to pay Mr. Green a half a million dollars to go away from his request for records,” Kosoglad said. That was in July, when CBS 2 first reported the story. There was a finance committee hearing on the settlement, and, out of necessity, Green was ready to take it. But some aldermen were concerned a payout would keep those records sealed, which they opposed. RELATED: West Ridge Man Becomes Social Media Sensation As He Places Frozen Pants On City Streets As If For Parking Dibs So Finance Committee Chairman Scott Waguespack drafted an ordinance outlining how those records would be released. The ordinance has gone nowhere since. Kosoglad said the offer disappeared. And city attorneys are now headed to appeals court to keep those records under wraps. “They are speaking out of both sides of their mouth,” Kosoglad said. “Going to the public, telling them they want to be transparent and fighting transparency in every possible place.” But Mayor Lori Lightfoot said four years of those records have been made public. “We’re continuing to work on a process to go back even further,” she said. “So there’s no lack of transparency in that case.” She indicates the city’s fight isn’t over the records release, but the cumbersome task of actually releasing them. “But I won’t comment further since this is an active piece of litigation,” she said. Kozlov spoke with Ald. Waguespack’s chief of staff and Ald. Taliaferro, the head of the Public Safety Committee, both committees involved in the records ordinance. They say it is not dead but they are trying to schedule a hearing on it for later this month — seven months after it was first introduced. MORE: Chicago Police Detective Attacked While Investigating Homicide Scene In South Shore Green’s attorney says as far as he’s been told, the settlement offer is dead. Kozlov could not get an answer on that from the city. Kosoglad will also be in court fighting to keep intact a lower court’s ruling that the files be released. It’s all about accountability, he says.
