Looking ahead to the Chicago municipal election on Feb. 24, the Sun-Times editorial board met on Tuesday, Jan. 13, with the candidates running for alderman in the 16th Ward to talk about the key issues facing their community — and what they’d do to improve things.
The 16th Ward includes Englewood, Gage Park and Chicago Lawn.
