Reputed Chicago mob member Joey “The Clown” Lombardo is just one of the many colorful figures making news during the Month of July.
But the news hasn't all been funny.
Every month at this time we invite a panel of journalists into our studios to analyze and debate the biggest stories of the last four weeks.
We call our segment the month in review
And here to size up July are:
Carol Marin of Chicago Tonight, the Chicago Sun-Times and NBC 5. Laura Washington of the Chicago Sun-Times and DePaul University. And Joe Weber of Business Week.
