It’s our first really detailed look at Chicago’s Ward races on this week’s show. Ten of the Council’s fifty seats have no incumbent this time, and at least another ten seats are so strongly contested that some experts believe forty percent of the City Council could change hands in May. That’s pretty dramatic, and today we look at the most heated races.

Three experts join us – Kathy Chaney, Web Editor of the Chicago Defender, Fernando Diaz, Managing Editor of Hoy newspaper, and Nadig Newspapers’ political columnist Russ Stewart.
