Daywatch: Aldermen seek control over future of Shotspotter

Good morning, Chicago.

The ShotSpotter gunshot detection system could get another chance to stick around in Chicago as aldermen try to wrest control over the technology’s future from Mayor Brandon Johnson.

Aldermen on Monday advanced an order to give the City Council final say over violence prevention funding efforts removed by the mayor, such as ShotSpotter. The effort revives the contentious fight over the technology that is set to be canceled later this year after Johnson followed through on a campaign pledge to end the company’s contract with the city.

The potential rebuke of the mayor’s power over the ShotSpotter deal moved forward with little criticism and a unanimous voice vote in the council’s Police and Fire Committee. Johnson’s council allies, like his hand-picked Finance Committee chair, Ald. Pat Dowell, 3rd, joined opponents in the push to gain the power to override his decision.

Johnson unveils Chicago’s first chief homelessness officer, takes more shots at ‘wicked’ adversaries of Bring Chicago Home

Mayor Brandon Johnson debuted his pick for Chicago’s first chief homelessness officer during a Monday news conference that also saw him stand firm against the real estate lobby and other political adversaries over his progressive agenda.

Column: A new baseball season brings back Updike, Brashler and Plimpton

Rick Kogan writes: “I like movies and I like baseball but I start every new baseball season by returning to old words, and so this year I reread ‘The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings’ because it was written by Chicago’s William Brashler, who also wrote other fine books, including a great novel titled ‘City Dogs’ in 1976 and later (in collaboration with Reinder Van Til) 1991’s ‘Murder in Wrigley Field,’ using the pseudonym Crabbe Evers. Brashler is a great writer.”

“Since Monday was April 1, I couldn’t resist visiting another ‘old friend.’ His name is Sidd Finch and he was the greatest baseball player who never was, except in the mind of writer George Plimpton, who created him on the pages of the April 1, 1985, issue of Sports Illustrated.”
