About this episode
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson discusses a new housing ordinance and recent events in the city, including jazz concerts and the Chicago Sky's performance.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson plans to introduce a sweeping housing ordinance next month to protect renters from eviction and displacement. Chicago is known as one of the world’s great jazz cities, and next week’s concert lineup helps cement that reputation. The Chicago Sky are still looking for their first home win of the season, and the team fell 111-104 against the Toronto Tempo on Wednesday. Plus, it has been a whirlwind 24 hours for Mayor Johnson in the Italian capital of Rome and in neighboring Vatican City. After flying in yesterday morning, the mayor raced to a meeting with one of the world’s most prominent religious leaders, the Chicago-born Pope Leo.
