## Resource

Chicago’s infamous parking meters are up for sale. In a City Council committee meeting last week, alders got more insight into the mayor’s earlier bid to buy them back. We also heard from representatives of the prospective buyers. Host Jacoby Cochran is breaking down the contentious meeting with contributors Leigh Giangreco and Al Scorch. Plus, another day, another candidate for mayor, and y’all have got some corrections and recommendations for me. Good News: Big Cheese Poetry Slam; Big Kids Show Want some more City Cast Chicago news?
