Clip: 10/26/2022 | 8m 50sVideo has Closed Captions
The WTTW News Spotlight Politics team on the biggest political stories of the day.
For the first time since February 2020, alderpeople were in their assigned seats in the chamber and members of the public were in the upstairs gallery. In a rare move, council members rejected the mayor's attempt to name an ally as a committee chair. And some alderpeople condemned the decision to not fire a Chicago police officer with ties to the Proud Boys.
