Back to EpisodesJohnson's Inaugural Promises, Bears Move Hits Bumps, and Chicago Red Flags
Description
Mayor Brandon Johnson was sworn in earlier this week with a memorable inauguration ceremony. Now the 57th mayor of Chicago gets busy on pushing his progressive agenda through a City Council with a lot of new faces. To help break down some of those key campaign promises, we are joined by Alex Nitkin from the Illinois Answers Project and poet and South Side Weekly editor Chima “Naira” Ikoro. Alongside host Jacoby Cochran, the trio also look at the Bears' Arlington Heights move, this week’s National Ride of Silence, and the neighborhood festivals we are excited for!
