On this edition of Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review with Joel Weisman, we break down Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s frenetic first year in office, including his relationships with City Council, labor and business, educators and parents, and the press. We also take another look at his controversial Infrastructure Trust, his loss of the G-8 Summit and the possible problems with NATO Summit protesters. And in sports, we look at Derrick Rose’s devastating knee injury. Can the Bulls survive in the post-season without him?
