Alderman Moore's Statement on the Proposed Parade and Public Assembly Ordinance
Posted: 1/18/2012
Dear Neighbor,
As you may know, Mayor Rahm Emanuel last month proposed a new "Parade and Public Assembly Ordinance" that engendered concern about its effect on first amendment freedoms.
I spent many hours analyzing the ordinance and listening to and reading comments from hundreds of concerned residents in the 49th Ward and beyond. A number of thoughtful individuals raised some legitimate concerns about the proposal, concerns which I took directly to the Mayor and his top advisors. I am please to report the Mayor and his people were very responsive to those concerns. As a result, they presented a much improved and carefully crafted "substitute ordinance."

Winter Finally Arrives; Shovel Your Walk and Keep Track of Snow Plow Progress
Posted: 1/13/2012
Dear Neighbor,
The winter snow has finally arrived and it's time to remind everyone that city ordinance requires homeowners and business owners to shovel the sidewalks adjacent to their property. Not only is it the neighborly thing to do, but failure to do so can result in a fine of up to $100.
My office staff or the 49th Ward Superintendent generally gives the offending property owner a warning first. But if the property owner ignores the warning, I will not hesitate to ask my Ward Superintendent to issue a ticket.
