He had a meeting with them yesterday to hear out their views on Chuy and Rham.

Being a rich guy, he's not a typical "on the make" Chicago pol, so he can be pretty independent.

He is a (ugh!) Rauner supporter though so that's not a good sign. I think I heard him say he is meeting with Chuy, also, tomorrow.
