Downtown Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd) said Monday he’s “aware of Mayor Daley’s past concerns with movie theaters in the Loop.”

But Reilly said he would “reserve judgment” on AMC’s new plan until he is “properly briefed.”

The alderman bemoaned the fact that no one from property owner CIM or the AMC movie chain reached out to discuss the plan with him before it was announced.

Are you fucking kidding me? This is too much even for him........no shame whatsoever......this has been in the works - and well-reported on - forever, and there would clearly be no particular reason - except for the strictly 'extralegal' to 'clear' a lease like this in an existing building - for a use that is permitted - with the Loop Prefect........

I wonder if we'll ever see this scumbag investigated.
