a lot of chicago's news ecosystem is based on access journalism and when i do a FOIA workshop with people, it's always a point of discussion
local press is not making challenge, they are making clicks and if we want challenge, we have to do it ourselves

the part of the cpd special order i am looking at is
"disseminating information by the following means: email messages"
i accidentally typed the chicago department of homeland security and deleted it but i think that's what it should be called
CPD and DHS are talking all the time, all the time

That's something the city council should probably keep in mind at today's CPD budget hearing.
In a year where the majority of departments took haircuts, CPD's budget is up again. (It's also the only department to have gone over budget in every one of the past full budget years, 2022-2024.)
