Channel 11 aired the Chicago City Council session starting at 11 00 A M to avoid the lengthy memorial resolutions that fill the first hour. The meeting typically begins when Mayor Daley arrives, determining start time and audience engagement.
The article argues memorial resolutions read at the start of City Council meetings dampen spectator enthusiasm and deter public involvement. It criticizes the practice as a deliberate tactic to suppress participation, noting how dais voices and row calls precede lengthy tributes that dull away youth interest.
