  • Key Emanuel council ally stepping down to take Airbnb job

     The City Council will soon have a vacant seat. Fourth Ward alderman Will Burns is resigning this week to take a job as a senior advisor and director of     midwest policy for Airbnb, a website that allows users to rent out their homes for short- or long-term stays. There will be an online application for residents interested in Burns’s     seat. [DNAinfo Chicago]
