Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has long promised a more open city government. In the latest installment of The First 100 series, Eight Forty-Eight talks with Chicago Reader senior writer Mick Dumke and Ald. Scott Waguespack (32nd Ward) about the progress and prospects for true transparency. And Robert Wildeboer continues his Under the Gun series comparing gun violence in Chicago and Toronto. And Richard Steele reports on the 50th anniversary of the wade-ins at Rainbow Beach—a civil rights demonstration that led to a racial uprising on Chicago’s South Shore. Then host Alison Cuddy talks with soul and gospel singer Otis Clay.
