Chicago aldermen said Friday that community groups were nearing agreement on two separate, long-debated policing oversight proposals and would have had an ordinance ready for a City Council vote by next week if Mayor Lori Lightfoot had not asked for a delay. The aldermen, who are working with two different community coalitions to find compromise, said 11 sticking points had been narrowed to fewer than four in advance of a planned Friday committee vote on an ordinance, which was delayed after Lightfoot asked for time to craft her own plan.
