Tribune political writer Gregory Pratt returns to give you the skinny on the race for mayor. Explaining things like...why Mayor Lightfoot and Ja'Mal Green are bashing Brandon Johnson. Whether Chuy lives in K-town (and why it apparently matters). Why Paul Vallas is up in the polls. How secret PACs that pump money to campaigns. And how the Bears are maneuvering to feed from the trough. Oh, yes, the Bears--terrible at football but pretty good at getting handouts.
