The Cubs would get the go-ahead to install two new rooftops signs on buildings owned by the billionaire family that also owns the team, under a proposed ordinance that’s sure to rekindle the debate about sign pollution at iconic Wrigley Field.

Former Ald. Tom Tunney battled the Cubs over all things Wrigley during his two decades in office, prompting the Ricketts family to bankroll a challenger against him — an opponent Tunney defeated handily.

Tunney’s successor continues to chart a different, more cooperative path.
