Show Notes
Chicagoans have been calling on the mayor’s office to better protect, prioritize, and coordinate resources and outreach for Chicago’s LGBTQ+ community. This month, Mayor Johnson officially announced Antonio King as the new Director of LGBTQ+ Affairs. We discussed how important this hire is with Windy City Times’ Jake Wittich and Crain’s Chicago’s Justin Laurence. Plus, we break down Greg Bovino’s demotion, closed-door negotiations about the city’s infamous parking meters, and Benny the Bull’s search for a new number.
