Dan Proft, Radio Host of Am 560’s Chicago’s Morning Answer: 'Violent crime is up in in aggregate terms, not as a percentage of ridership either, just in aggregate terms'

By Chicago City Wire Report | Mar 9, 2023

If you go back to 2019, you had about, you know, again, it’s 900 violent crimes and you have another 14% increase in 2022. And this is after Lightfoot’s initiatives. They’ve done a beat down – I think you’ve covered it on the CTA chief.”
