Parking Meter Deal 2.0 by Rey Colon: 35th Ward Alderman, Chicago -
The streets and infrastructure we live, work, travel and play in was paid for with public dollars and constructed for public use. Just as early American's were able to tie their horses to a rail in front of the general store, the transition to cars brought with it a mentality that free, unlimited parking was a constitutional right.

Parking Ban Begins December 1 by Rey Colon: 35th Ward Alderman, Chicago -
No other City in the world has a better snow fighting operation than the City of Chicago's Department of Streets and Sanitation. While most of us sleep, this military-like operation works hard to ensure that winter storms can't stop the 'City that Works' from working. Don't be a casualty in the war against snow.

'Sí Se Puede! Yes We Can!' by Rey Colon: 35th Ward Alderman, Chicago -
Cesar E. Chavez was born on March 31, 1927 in Yuma, Arizona and died at age 66 on April 23, 1993 in San Luis, Arizona. Chávez was a labor leader, civil rights activist and the American farm worker who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW). Chavez championed the causes of poor, disenfranchised workers throughout the country and made the chant; 'Sí se puede! Yes We Can!' famous. In his day, Chávez was the Latino voice backed by the American labor movement. Chávez lead the farm workers' struggle in the same aggressive yet non-violent approach as Mohandas Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. which attracted national support. Chavez challenged discrimination and obstacles facing Latinos.

Pre-Registration for 2012 Assessment Complaints by Rey Colon: 35th Ward Alderman, Chicago -
Please be advised that the Board of Review is now accepting pre-registration 2012 assessment complaints from individuals filing on their own property for any township that has not yet opened for review by the Board of Review for its 2012 session.
As of July 16 all homeowners in all townships may file their appeals online at www.cookcountyboardofreview.com, regardless if their township is open. The Board will hold the complaint until the township is open and the complaint will be reviewed along with other complaints from the township. To be clear, the filing of an appeal may reduce the assessed value of a property for a future tax bill and does not remove the obligation to pay the current Second Installment Property Tax Bill in full and on time.
