Headlines ICYMI: Bike-related death in Grant Park and Franklin Park this morning; "Johnson loses sole power to [nominate] CTA President under new transit authority [NITA]"; "Take CTA to the Obama Presidential Center Dedication Ceremony" on Thursday 6/18.
The ABC article has a link for submitting corrections, so I used that to tell them it's an e-moto, not an e-bike. The @cbschicago.bsky.social article does not have such a feature, and they're apparently content with being wrong and conflating terms, which is leading to bad legislation.
