In this week’s edition of Spotlight Politics:

For the first time since February 2020, alderpeople were in their assigned seats in the chamber and members of the public were in the upstairs gallery.

In a rare move, City Council members rejected the mayor's attempt to name an ally as a committee chair.

And some alderpeople condemned the decision to not fire a Chicago police officer with ties to the Proud Boys.

Our politics team of Amanda Vinicky, Paris Schutz and Heather Cherone takes on those stories and more.
