Ken Davis is joined by Mayoral candidate Lori Lightfoot. They discuss her recent filing of petitions and her strong confidence that she’ll survive challenges and appear on the February ballot. She discusses the corrosive effects of aldermanic prerogative, which she blames for the total lack of affordable housing construction in 22 of 77 community areas. She speaks forcefully about the vanishing middle class in Chicago and the serious need for a wide range of affordable housing options. She says she opposes further closing of public schools, despite their declining enrollment. She says she’s not sure a publicly-owned bank would work, but she’d study it. This program was produced by Chicago Access Network Television (CAN TV).
