Episode notes
Chicago Inspector General Deborah Witzburg recently made headlines by saying her office has faced interference from the City’s Law Department, making it harder to investigate potential ethics violations. An ordinance designed to fix the problem was stalled by an ally of Mayor Johnson.
In our new episode of Politics 101, IG Witzburg joins David and Alisa to delve into the details of City Hall's "obstructive" practices, discuss the “brick walls” slowing ethics reform in Chicago, and reflect on whether she wants another term as the city's top watchdog.
