Chicago, your planes are louder than all the potholes.

Your City Hall has a noise problem

Okay so, Chi-Town on the wire — you already know. Let's talk about what's really happening down at City Hall, because you know I’m always checking what’s up with the folks we elected. Looking at the latest 311 service requests, it’s like, wild. The number one complaint, if you don't count the "information only" calls, is **aircraft noise**. Ten thousand, five hundred and thirty-nine requests! Mija, that’s more than potholes and graffiti combined, and you know how bad those get after winter.

It’s not just a minor annoyance, people are calling 311 about planes constantly. I’m thinking about my abuela’s house near Midway, you can barely hear yourself think sometimes. It’s like, are we just supposed to live with this?

* **Top 311 Complaints (excluding info calls):**

* Aircraft Noise Complaint: 10,539 requests

* Pothole in Street Complaint: 2,263 requests

* Graffiti Removal Request: 2,216 requests

This is according to the latest 311 data, and it tells you what residents are really dealing with. It’s not just the big stuff, it’s the everyday things that grind you down. And while we’re talking about what's going on, did you know we had five new lobbyists registered this week, like Tiffany Taylor and Victor Reyes? Always good to know who’s in the ear of our council members. We gotta watch if all this plane noise gets drowned out by other voices.

Chi-Town on the wire — you already know.

The crew on the Morning Wire show breaks this down every day — you can catch them live at mornings.live.
