After violent holiday weekend, Chicago civic leaders announce $100 million for crime-fighting efforts
The gathering of CEOs, philanthropic leaders, police and violence interrupters came after more than 100 people were shot in Chicago over the extended Fourth of July weekend. Nineteen people died, including an 8-year-old and two family members in a mass shooting in the South Side Greater Grand Crossing community.
Support from the business community for civic enterprise is one of the things that make Chicago Chicago. And this effort sounds encouragingly similar to another, almost exactly 100 years ago, that helped run Al Capone out of town.
