After the Mayor Daley decades, a new mayor, Rahm Emanuel, took the office in May 2011.
Taking a look at what Mayor Emanuel has been able to accomplish during his first year in office, Lake Forest College presents a panel of politics professors, aldermen and a journalist who will take a closer look at the changes he's made in the city.
Assistant Professor of Politics Carrie Nordlund will chair the panel of participants, which includes Professor of Politics Emeritus Paul Fischer; current Chicago Alderman of the 5th Ward, Hon. Leslie Hairston; senior editor of political newsmagazine In These Times, Dr. David Moberg; and former Chicago Alderman of the 46th Ward, Hon. Helen Shiller.
