If Chicago wins the 2016 Olympics next month, Alds. Edward Burke and Carrie Austin would be the City Council's representatives on the organizing committee that will plan and run the Games, according to a draft ordinance reviewed by the Tribune.
The finance committee, chaired by Burke (14th), has scheduled a hearing today to consider renewing its formal backing of Mayor Richard Daley's plans to win the 2016 Summer Games. The proposal expected to be introduced at the hearing covers several points that Daley and bid leaders say will ensure financial oversight of Olympic business.
