I would like this question asked of Joanathan Nieuwsma at every single council meeting since he thinks he can run for reelection and not tell the city where this money is. Revelle is a lost cause since she isn't running again and has given up on the 7th ward and is back to bowing to NU.

Thank you for this deep dive into the missing $333,000. This money has been missing for a while, and it is concerning that when Council Member Kelly raised the issue at a recent council meeting, Revelle and Nieuwsma did not address it. It is unacceptable that Eleanor Revelle (7th Ward) and Jonathan Nieuwsma (4th Ward), both members of the Economic Development Committee (EDC), along with Mayor Biss—who helped secure federal funding for the EDC—are not actively working to locate the missing funds, which were intended to assist those in need. This is yet another example of a lack of financial accountability in the City Of Evanston.
