Licensed to grill

Alderman Brendan Reilly (42nd) on Thursday grilled Rosemary Krimbel, commissioner of the city’s Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection, on a host of licensing matters that impact his dense River North neighborhood. Reilly held court on everything from liquor laws to valet companies to horse drawn carriages, perhaps incurring the wrath of an impatient Alderman Carrie Austin (34th), chair of the City Council Budget Committee. “The chairman is going to make me to turn my mic off,” Reilly joked.

Mayor problems

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed drew some laughs from the audience of a Thursday City Club of Chicago luncheon while describing the challenges of addressing his city’s unfunded pension liability upon taking office in 2010. “I don’t want to sugarcoat it. The year that we did pension reform was terrible,” Reed explained. “I was unhappy; People threw a lot of symbols and signs at me that were unpleasant. [But] that’s nothing in Chicago, you all know that. That’s how y’all greet each other in the morning!”
