Chicago市议会再否市长住房局董事提名 控制权之争持续
据Chicago本地媒体《Chicago城市日报》10月16日的头条报道，Chicago市议员本周再次否决了市长布兰登·约翰逊提名的两名Chicago住房局（CHA）董事会人选，围绕全国第二大公共住房机构控制权的争斗已持续一年多。
报道称，约翰逊的批评者认为，市长希望组建一个会罢免住房局负责人基思·佩蒂格鲁的董事会。住房局负责为Chicago低收入家庭提供公共住房与住房券，其董事会人选须经市议会确认。
同日，Chicago还出现可疑信件事件：伊利诺伊州选举委员会Chicago办公室周四晚疏散，库克县财政官玛丽亚·帕帕斯的市中心办公室也收到可疑信封。报道称，这批信件是联邦调查局正在调查的全国100多封信件的一部分，其中一些带有威胁及芬太尼痕迹，距选举日约三周。
Chicago Council Rejects Mayor's Housing Authority Nominees Again as Power Fight Drags On
Chicago is a city in Cook County, Illinois. Chicago aldermen this week rejected another pair of Mayor Brandon Johnson's nominees to the board of the Chicago Housing Authority, extending a fight of more than a year over control of the nation's second-largest public housing authority, the Chicago Urban Daily News reported in its October 16 headlines.
According to the report, Johnson's critics believe the mayor wants a board that will oust CHA leader Keith Pettigrew. The housing authority provides public housing and vouchers for low-income Chicago families, and its board nominees require City Council confirmation.
Also on Thursday, suspicious-envelope scares hit the Illinois State Board of Elections' Chicago office, which was evacuated Thursday evening, and Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas' downtown office. The incidents are part of a nationwide FBI probe of more than 100 letters, some with threats and fentanyl traces, about three weeks before Election Day, the report said.
