## Resource

Chicago’s City Council Transportation Committee failed to reach quorum for a second time this year, with only six members physically present—forcing the meeting to be canceled despite CTA officials attending. Eight council members skipped the in-person session, and virtual attendance didn’t count under official rules. As CBS News Chicago tries to follow up, the repeated no-shows highlight a growing disconnect at City Hall and raise serious questions about how local transit decisions will get made without consistent leadership presence.
