Chicago Newsroom 04/04/19

Published on Apr 4, 2019

Three of Chicago’s most knowledgeable observers of the mayoral political scene convene this week for a conversation about the Lori Lightfoot landslide. Panelists include Delmarie Cobb (the Publicity Works); Bruce DuMont, host of Beyond the Beltway; and the Daily Line’s A.D. Quig. We discuss the factors that led to Lightfoot’s overwhelming victory, the challenges she faces with labor contracts, the raising of revenue for pensions and other needs and the curious fact that she drew strong support from just about every economic, racial and philosophical corner of the city. We also discuss the critical issues she faces with the Chicago Public Schools and Police Department. This program was produced by CAN TV.
