Description

On Friday, a Cook County judge invalidated the Bring Chicago Home referendum, which asks Chicagoans if the city should create a tiered real estate transfer tax to use as a dedicated funding source for efforts to fight homelessness. While voters will likely see the ordinance on their March primary ballots, the votes will not be counted for now, but an appeal could change things. Host Jacoby Cochran and executive producer Simone Alicea break down the latest. Plus, we’re listening to Djo's “End of Beginning” and revisiting our venn diagram of best places to cry and most romantic spots.  
Good News: Greektown Restaurant Week starts soon!
