We look at the West Side in the 29th Ward to learn more about the race for alderman there ahead of the February 24th municipal election. The ward, led by Ald. Deborah Graham, includes portions of Austin, Galewood and Montclare. This is one of the most crowded aldermanic races. There are seven candidates looking to unseat Ald. Graham. Big issues in the ward include the appointed school board and economic development. Reema Amin of AustinTalks.com and the Chicago Sun-Times Breaking News Desk catches us up on the 29th Ward race.
