This is a map of SSA #42 and a helpful explanation of what an SSA even is, from their website. Many Chicagoans live or support businesses in these tax districts without realizing it. Do YOU know what your local SSA is up to? 👀 https://t.co/J3eLCfj65P

The commissioners are Chair Jared Lewis; Vice Chair Vanetta Roy; Secretary @AllIn4Adrienne, treasurer Julia Perkins, treasurer Gregory Smith; Sullen G. Hurt; Judy Minor-Jackson; and Ayesha Amena Karim.

Aldermen in SSA #42 are @5thWardChicago, @AldGregMitchell & @AldermanHarris.

Unfortunately it's 9:08 now and I've been unable to access the meeting, just getting a notification that says "Please wait. The webinar will begin soon."

Well, at 25 min. past the meeting start time, neither I nor the other Documenter have been let in. Tried the call-in option, no luck there either. My guess is it was cancelled without us being notified or the website being updated.That concludes my coverage today! #ChiDocumenters

Update: I emailed Tonya Trice, the SSA's executive director, to ask what happened with this morning's meeting. She replied that the meeting did in fact happen, and she didn't see anyone in the waiting room. She advised me to log in again. (I had tried that several times.)

It doesn't bode well that two members of the public were both unable to access a public meeting through the means set forth by the agency. 😐
