CHICAGO (AP) – Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is warning the city’s aldermen not to produce wish lists now that Congress has passed a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package that will send nearly $2 billion to the city. Lightfoot said the money will have strings attached to how it can be spent. Lightfoot said Wednesday she has been hearing from people about what did and didn’t go right after the city received stimulus funds after the 2008 economic crisis. The mayor said the city will want to be smarter about the way in which the money is utilized to make sure investments are made to lift the city into a full recovery.
