Good afternoon, Chicago.

One person has loomed large over the controversial City Council ordinance giving police power to declare stricter teen curfews anywhere in the city: Chicago police Superintendent Larry Snelling.

The measure teed up for a final vote today would give Snelling and future superintendents final say to declare the curfews. And as the long-awaited vote arrives, aldermen on opposing sides are claiming Snelling supports them.

Snelling did not take a clear side this morning when his spokesperson was pressed by the Tribune. The superintendent said police will “do everything in our power to prevent violence,” regardless of the outcome in a statement.
