The compromise Chicago ward map has been approved by a consultant commissioned by the city council to ensure that it would pass legal muster. The approval also paves the way for a true compromise, as Ald. Danny Solis (25th), head of the Latino caucus, said the caucus would sign on to the compromise map if it okayed by the redistricting expert.

After a hearing this afternoon and one tomorrow, along with a Rules committee meeting scheduled for Thursday, the full council could vote on the map Thursday.
