Aldermen want to remove honorary ‘Trump Plaza’ designation
GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has his own honorary street sign in Chicago, “Trump Plaza,” near the Trump International Hotel and Tower in River North. Led by Alderman Brendan Reilly, 47 City Council members signed on to an ordinance that would remove the designation because of his “hateful and racist campaign against immigrants and minorities.” “We’ll put the sign back up when he releases his taxes,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel joked to reporters Wednesday.
