Meet Your Alderman

Politics, in one sense, is what happens when policy objectives meet reality. Hosts Jeff Bittle and Alex Kroger explore how local policies are debated and implemented right here in Chicago. Each episode of "Meet Your Alderman" introduces listeners to a different alderman from the city's 50 wards and covers policies like education, economic development, policing, and housing. Edited by Hannah Bernick.
