The game's not over yet. This is a major part of Rahm's legacy, I don't think he would let it just slip though his fingers.

I'm sure David Reifman will be up late tonight and tomorrow night trying to get more public benefit out of the two megaprojects. Or Sterling Bay and Related already have some concessions ready to go that can be unveiled tomorrow. There's still a chance it could get approved by Wednesday.

Right now the vote is only delayed until Wednesday morning before the full City Council meets, so it could still pass if a deal is cut.

Failing that, it would be great to be a fly on the wall in that conversation between Lightfoot and Emanuel. So far it appears Lightfoot is pro-development but wants to make sure everything is squeaky clean with these two projects given the involvement of Danny Solis and Ed Burke. Ideally pay-to-play gets replaced with play-all-you-want-for-free.
