Description

It has been over a week since the polls closed in the Illinois primary, but there’s still no official winner in the Democratic primary for Cook County State’s Attorney. The race between Eileen O’Neill Burke and Clayton Harris III is separated by less than 1700 votes. Election officials have until April 2 to finish counting mail-in ballots. WTTW’s Heather Cherone and Chalkbeat Chicago’s Becky Vevea tell host Jacoby Cochran why this race highlights a new election normal. Plus, we are talking about the elected school board, tensions between police chief and COPA, and Uncle Julio’s sudden closure in Lincoln Park. Spots we never want to see go: Spinning J, The Bagel, and Dan’s Hot Dogs.
Good news: BreadHead Bakery and Shedd’s New Otter Pup
