During campaign season, it’s easy to hear about the ills of our city that need to be corrected. Candidates tell us what’s wrong and how they’d fix it. But how do those problems and potential solutions align with the everyday issues that drive the people who live and work in the region? Last year, Chicago Community Trust offered residents an opportunity to discuss what they would want to see happen in Chicago at the place where so much of these discussions can take place-around a meal at the dinner table. On the Table returns this year to continue those conversations. Chicago Community Trust Chief Marketing Officer Daniel Ash tells us what issues emerged from the series last year, and how that might be different from when groups gather this spring. (Flickr/camflan)
