Listen "Brandon Johnson Plans To Make Good On A Campaign Promise"
Episode Synopsis
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is aiming to make good on a campaign promise to expand mental health services.
Six city-run mental health clinics were closed in 2016 under Chicago’s then-mayor Rahm Emanuel. A majority of the closed clinics were on the city’s south and west sides. Two administrations later, Johnson is sharing plans to reopen the first clinic in Roseland.
We dig into the plan and other news out of Chicago’s City Hall, including a potential sidewalk plowing initiative, with WBEZ city politics reporter Tessa Weinberg.
