World Business Chicago skips City Council hearing, funding at risk
Original: World Business Chicago ghosts City Council hearing, putting funding in crosshairs
World Business Chicago, the city's public-private economic development arm, failed to appear at a Chicago City Council hearing, drawing criticism from aldermen and raising questions about its public funding. The no-show has put the organization's financial support in jeopardy as council members weigh whether to continue backing the agency. Coverage is drawing attention to oversight of the taxpayer-funded body.
Why now: The organization's absence from a council hearing threatens its public funding, making it a local political controversy.
