The Week in Review
Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review: 4/13
On this edition of Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review with Eddie Arruza, Mayor Rahm Emanuel tweaks his longer school day plan by 30 minutes, aldermen demand more details on the $7 billion infrastructure trust, and the speed camera plan cruises to a full City Council vote. Two-and-a-half months after Sen. Mark Kirk suffered a stroke, his condition is veiled in secrecy. With Rick Santorum out of the presidential race, attention turns to Mitt Romney’s potential running mate. And in sports, the Blackhawks battle Phoenix in round one of the playoffs, and Ozzie Guillen sparks a firestorm in Miami with his Fidel Castro comments.
