Sun-Times City Hall reporter Fran Spielman is joined by Cole Stallard, a Streets and Sanitation “lifer” who worked his way up through the ranks and earned the right to replace retired Commissioner John Tully.

Stallard embraced the idea of adding a ten-cent deposit to the cost of bottles and cans to reduce the mountain of plastics and other containers overwhelming landfills and discussed plans he's put in place to combat snow season that's mere weeks away in Chicago.
