The Week in Review with Joel Weisman
The Week in Review with Joel Weisman-May 2024
May 2, 2025 1:53 AM

This week on Chicago Tonight: The Week In Review, Rahm Emanuel wins the race for mayor easily, with 55 percent of the vote, and wastes no time naming his transition team. Is his victory a sign of "post-racial politics" in Chicago? The mayor-elect also sets his sights on City Council changes and the city's issues, including pensions, the budget, schools, police and changing city services. There are 14 aldermanic runoffs, including Vice Mayor Bernie Stone in the 50th ward and Zoning Committee Chair Danny Solis in the 25th ward. The Feds drop three charges against Rod Blagojevich to streamline their case. And in sports, the Blackhawks have Coach Q back, but will they get to the playoffs? Joakim Noah returns to the now full-strength Bulls. Baseball's warming up with Spring Training in Arizona. And medical experts hope Bears great Dave Duerson's death will shed new light on brain injuries.
