Episode Details

Chicago Bears will pick 25th tonight in the opening round of the NFL draft. Several parents and community members are unhappy with plans to celebrate May Day at Chicago Public Schools. The city of Chicago continues to explore what reparations could look like for Black Chicagoans, and the task force Repair Chicago hosted a citywide town hall Wednesday to get feedback on their definition of reparations. Plus, Chicago has been getting a lot of rain this spring. Streets have flooded and water has seeped into people's basements. This is all expected to get a lot worse, partly because of climate change. The likelihood of heavy rainstorms has increased sevenfold here over the past century and our sewers can't handle the increase.
