The City Council Zoning Committee approved the controversial plan to relocate the Chicago Children's Museum from Navy Pier to Grant Park in a 6-3 vote Thursday afternoon.
The proposal still has to be voted on by the entire City Council.
The vote followed nearly six hours of sometimes contentious testimony by opponents and proponents in packed council chambers.
Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd), whose ward includes Grant Park, was greeted like a rock star with a flood of cheering applause when he entered the chamber. Reilly has continuously rallied for support against the museum proposal, in defiance of Mayor Richard M. Daley.
Should the U.S. go to war in Iran? A Chicago City Council committee considered the issue Tuesday.
The resolution, sponsored by Ald. Joe Moore (49th) was put together by the No War in Iran Coalition. Michael Lynn, an official with the coalition, explained why the group asked Moore to introduce the resolution.
"The idea is to let the national government know there will be a political price to be paid for launching a war in Iran," he said.
