The inspector general’s office completed a report on the the botched Hilco smokestack demolition in Little Village in September 2021, but Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration refused calls from the community, a City Council resolution and then-Inspector General Joe Ferguson to make the report public. The report was publicized recently and Little Village residents are demanding the city take action.
