On Thursday, the City Colleges of Chicago Board approved the appointment of a new president to Olive-Harvey College. Angelia Millender will be coming to CCC from Broward College, a community college in the Miami-area that the Aspen Institute in 2012 named one of the top 10 community colleges in the country.

The City Council Finance Committee on Tuesday approved routing $55 million in Tax Increment Financing to a new McCormick Place hotel as the city and the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority shift the plans of their major convention center remake.

Under the revamped McCormick Place plan, which officials from the administration of Mayor Rahm Emanuel first floated in late January, the city will use the $55 million in TIF money to build the hotel instead of putting it toward the construction of a new DePaul University basketball stadium.

The City Council Zoning Committee green lighted Thursday changes to city law governing strip clubs, adult bookstores, and adult movie spots, effectively adding legal hurdles for any prospective strip club in the city.

According to Alderman Scott Waguespack (32nd), the ordinance's sponsor, the measure prevents an “adult bookstore, motion picture theater, or other type of establishment” from “transforming themselves” into strip clubs.
