Summary
Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, who has been floated as a potential candidate for mayor, recently received $255,000 from a local union. This has sparked conversation about what the Secretary’s growing political war chest will be used for. Host Jacoby Cochran sits down with contributors Brandon Pope and Anna DeShawn to discuss. Plus, the city breaks ground on the Elise Malary Plaza, and we discuss pieces of art across Chicago we’d “borrow for life.” Good News: Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire Want some more City Cast Chicago news?
