This week on Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review, Chicago’s Inspector General Joseph Ferguson reveals developers receiving TIF funds were required to donate money to charities, especially former First Lady Maggie Daley’s After School Matters program. But the charity denies any improprieties. Mayor Rahm Emanuel is shifting more police and chasing city scofflaws. Protests here and around the country grow louder against corporate greed as the markets continue a rollercoaster ride. The CTA’s record-breaking budget deficit could force fare hikes. And in sports, in a surprise move, the White Sox name Robin Ventura as the new manager.
