Critics and backers predicted the plan to put the Chicago Children's Museum in Grant Park would be endorsed Thursday by the city's Plan Commission—but only after a lengthy, contentious hearing that could highlight the links between museum backers, panel members and Mayor Richard Daley.
The mayor is the project's most powerful supporter, and he selects the 20-member panel. In addition to the mayor, it includes six aldermen who typically back the mayor's initiatives, two Daley cabinet members, another mayoral aide, a top transit official appointed by Daley who sits on the museum's board and a community activist whose organization has been supportive of the proposal.
