[♪♪♪] >> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO "THE WEEK IN REVIEW" I'M PARIS SCHUTZ.

WE WILL BE JOINED BY OUR "THE WEEK IN REVIEW" GUESTS IN JUST A MOMENT, FIRST SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

GOVERNOR J.B. PRITZKER IS OPENING UP VACCINATIONS ARE MORE ESSENTIAL WORKERS EARLIER THAN ANNOUNCED.

STARTING MONDAY, ILLINOIS RESIDENTS IN PHASE 1C CAN START RECEIVING VACCINATIONS AND THAT INCLUDES WORKERS IN THE RESTAURANT AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY AS WELL AS IN MEDIA, LAW, IT AND GOVERNMENT.

GOVERNOR J.B. PRITZKER SAYS HE MOVED THE DATE UP BECAUSE THE STATE RECEIVED 800,000 FIRST DOSES OF THE VACCINE FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION THIS WEEK.

AND HE EXPECTS ONE MILLION PER WEEK BY NEXT MONTH.

DESPITE THE GOOD NEWS PRITZKER SAYS IT IS NOT CAUSE FOR ILLINOISANS TO LET DOWN THEIR GUARD.

>> COVID-19 HAS NOT GONE AWAY.

NOT YET A THIRD OF OUR POPULATION HAS BEEN VACCINATED.

ALTHOUGH THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL IS GETTING BRIGHTER WE ARE NOT THERE YET.

>> MORE FALLOUT FROM A WEST SIDE HOSPITAL ACCUSED OF IMPROPERLY OFFERING VACCINATIONS TO PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT QUALIFIED.

AUSTIN'S LORETTO HOSPITAL ANNOUNCES IT HAS REPRIMANDED THE C.E.O.

AND THE COO, THE ON OFFERED VACCINATIONS TO WORKERS AT TRUMP TOWER AND COOK COUNTY JUDGES AND GUESTS.

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAYS IT'S HALTED VACCINATION DISTRIBUTION TO THE HOSPITAL WHILE IT INVESTIGATES.

WE WILL HAVE MORE ON THIS IN A BIT.

>> AND ILLINOIS PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS REPORT 2300 NEW CASES AND 12 ADDITIONAL DEATHS, A TOTAL OF 1.218 MILLION, AND 21.34 DEATHS.

>> WELL, THE STATE IS SET FOR A SHOWDOWN BETWEEN LOYOLA AND THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS SUNDAY IN ROUND TWO OF THE NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT.

ILLINOIS DISPENSED WITH THE 16TH SEED IN THE GAME BEHIND THE STAR POWER OF GUARD.

THE 78-49.

LOYOLA TOOK CARE OF GEORGIA TECH FROM SENIOR GUARD WILLIAMSON AND WE WILL HAVE MORE ON THIS LATER IN THE PROGRAM AS WELL.

TO OUR "THE WEEK IN REVIEW" PANEL JOINING US ARE DIONNE MILLER OF ABC7, KELLY BAUER OF BLOCK CLUB CHICAGO.

ESTHER YOON-JI KANG OF WBEZ AND OUR OWN AMANDA VINICKY OF WTTW NEWS.

WELCOME LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT.

GOVERNOR J.B. PRITZKER ANNOUNCED ALL ADULTS IN THE STATE WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO GET A VACCINE APRIL 12TH.

>> WITH THE MASSIVELY INCREASED SUPPLY OF VACCINE THERE WILL STILL BE A NEED FOR PATIENCE.

IF EVERYONE TRIED TO GET VACCINATED ON THE SAME DAY, IT JUST COULDN'T BE DONE.

NEVERTHELESS, BY MID-APRIL, WE WILL BE AT A POINT WHERE DIVIDING UP THE POPULATION INTO PHASES, WON'T MAKE SENSE WITH THE EVER INCREASING SUPPLIES THAT WE EXPECT TO SEE.

>> SO AMANDA VINICKY BY MONDAY, THE MAJORITY OF ILLINOIS ADULTS WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO GET VACCINATED.

WILL SUPPLY KEEP UP WITH DEMAND?

>> THAT IS THE QUESTION.

HE EVIDENTLY THINKS SO AND YOU THINK HE SHOULD KNOW.

HE SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING THIS INFORMATION TO LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS.

WE SHOULD POINT OUT THERE IS ANOTHER BIG CAVEAT AND THAT IS CHICAGO'S ON A DIFFERENT TIMELINE.

CHICAGO BEEN ON A DIFFERENT TIMELINE THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC BOTH IN TERMS OF REOPENINGS, RESTRICTIONS AND ALSO, OF COURSE, THE VACCINES BECAUSE IN PART THE REASON THAT IS, IS BECAUSE CHICAGO GETS ITS ALLOTMENT FROM THE FEDS SEPARATELY.

AND SO THERE HAS BEEN THROUGHOUT THIS SOME LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN ON CHICAGO'S SLOWER PACE THAN PRITZKER HAS BEEN PUSHING FOR THE REST OF THE STATE.

HE SEEMS TO SAY THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE IN ANY SORT OF PROBLEM.

SO THAT SAID, AGAIN, CHICAGO IS MOVING INTO 1C, SOMETHING THE STATE DOESN'T HAVE.

YES, IT'S FINE IF YOU ARE CONFUSED, MAKES SENSE.

ALL THIS INFORMATION IS ON THE WTTW WEBSITE AND YOU CAN FIND OUT WHEN YOU ARE ELIGIBLE BUT CHICAGO IS AT LEAST IN 1C THAT WILL BE A MAJORITY OF CITY RESIDENTS.

>> AND KELLY, PRITZKER ANNOUNCED A BRIDGE TO PHASE 5 WHAT WILL THE BRIDGE LOOK LIKE?

>> YES, SO GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAID AS VACCINATIONS RAMP UP AND CASES PLATEAU AFTER THE FALL SURGE HE WANTS TO LIFT RESTRICTIONS AND PREPARE US FOR A MORE FULL REOPENING DURING PHASE FIVE.

HE INTRODUCED THE BRIDGE PHASE WHICH WE WILL BE ENTERING IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

ONCE 70% OF ILLINOISANS 65 AND OLDER ARE VACCINATED, THEN HAVE AT LEAST ONE DOSE WE WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE INTO THE PHASE AND THEN ILLINOIS WILL RAISE CAPACITY LIMITS BY 10%.

BUT THINGS WILL BE UNCHANGED.

THE STATE WILL WAIT 28 DAYS AND THEN ONCE AT LEAST 50% OF ILLINOISANS 16 AND OLDER ARE VACCINATED WE WILL MOVE INTO PHASE 5.

>> DIONNE MILLER, THAT BRIDGE INCLUDES LARGE INDOOR EVENTS THAT CAN HAVE A PERCENTAGE OF CAPACITY.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE UNITED CENTER?

BULLS' GAMES AND HAWKS' GAMES?

DOES IT MAKE IT POSSIBLE THAT CUBS AND SOX GAMES MIGHT HAVE MORE THAN 20% CAPACITY WHEN THE SEASON STARTS.

>> IT DOES AND IT'S SO PROMISING AND OVERDUE.

I PERSONALLY HAVE BEEN TO A LIVE SPORTING EVENT IN MONTHS BUT FOR THE FANS TO CHEER ON THE TEAMS.

WE'VE HAD EXCITING MOMENTS WITH THE BULLS AND THE BLACKHAWKS AND HOW MUCH FUN IT WOULD BE TO BE AT THE UNITED CENTER AND THIS WILL HELP US GET TO THAT POINT AND A LOT OF FANS HAVE PANDEMIC FATIGUE.

REMEMBER WHEN THE PANDEMIC STARTED AND I CAUSUALLY SAID YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS UNTIL THERE IS A VACCINE AND I HAD NO IDEA THAT WAS GOING TO BE REALITY.

TO HEAR THE PROMISING WORDS THOUGH THERE IS PATIENCE WE HAVE TO PRACTICE WITHIN THAT, FOR FANS TO GET BACK TO THE GAMES THEY LOVE AND CHEERING ON THEIR TEAMS AND HAVING THAT FEEL NORMAL IT'S EXCITING IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO THE TEAMS AND FAN BASES.

>> AND SISTER JEAN BEAT YOU BACK TO WATCH A LIVE GAME.

ESTHER YOON-JI KANG WE TALKED ABOUT EQUITY NUMBERS THAT THEY'VE LAGGED THEY SEEM TO HAVE IMPROVED IT IS ABOUT A THIRD WHITE MAYBE MORE THAN THAT, LESS THAN A THIRD BLACK AND LESS THAN A THIRD HISPANIC.

ARE THOSE EQUITY NUMBERS WHERE THEY NEED TO BE?

>> WELL, OF COURSE NOT, PARIS.

AND YOU KNOW I WAS LOOKING AT CHICAGO'S NUMBERS WHERE IT'S REALLY ONE IN EIGHT LATINOS, ONE IN NINE AFRICAN-AMERICANS, ONE IN 12 NATIVE-AMERICANS AND THAT IS COMPARED TO ONE IN FIVE FOR WHITE AND ASIAN RESIDENTS.

IF YOU LOOK AT THAT YOU CAN SEE THE EQUITY INEQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF THE VACCINES.

MY COLLEAGUE COVERED A STORY ABOUT A GROUP OF LEADERS WHO ARE ASKING THE CITY TO TAKE THE VACCINE TO THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY.

THEY POINT OUT THAT IN 1963, THEY WERE ABLE TO GIVE THE POLIO VACCINE TO 300,000 PEOPLE ON A SATURDAY.

AND SO THEY ARE SAYING YOU CAN DO THIS NOW WITH THE COVID VACCINE.

I PERMANENTLY HAVE BEEN REPORT -- PERSONALLY HAVE BEEN REPORTING A LOT OUT OF ROSELAND AND TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE A PHONE.

IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO GET TO A VACCINE, TO GET TO THE VACCINE, EVEN TO THE UNITED CENTER, RIGHT?

YOU NEED A PHONE AT THE LEAST.

THEY ASK YOU WHEN YOU GET THERE GIVE US YOUR QR CODE.

WHAT IS A QR CODE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SMARTPHONE OR iPAD.

>> A LOT OF BARRIERS.

WE HAVE TO MOVE ON.

BOMBSHELL STORY THAT BLOCK CLUB REPORTED.

LORETTO HOSPITAL IN AUSTIN BEFORE WE GET INTO ALL THE IMPROPRIETY HERE TODAY THEY SAID THEY ARE REPRIMANDING THEIR COO AND THEIR COE FOR THE I AM -- CEO.

FOR THE IMPROPER VACCINATIONS.

DO WE KNOW WHAT REPRIMAND MEANS?

>> I HAVE SPOKEN TO TWO POLITICIANS ON THE HOSPITAL'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ALL THEY WOULD SAY WE PUT OUT THIS STATEMENT WE ARE NOT GOING TO ELABORATE WHAT IT MEANS TO REPRIMAND THEM WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT AND SEE WHAT COULD BE HAPPENING TO THE C.E.O.

AND THE COO >> THE FIRST STORY HERE WAS THAT THEY THE COO, HAS AN APARTMENT IN TRUMP TOWER, $2.5 MILLION APARTMENT AND THE HOSPITAL THAT HAS THE VACCINATIONS FOR FOLKS ON THE WEST SIDE IMPROPER HE WILL ADMINISTERED VACCINATIONS TO TRUMP TOWER EMPLOYEES.

IS THERE EVIDENCE FOR TRADE OFF OR EXCHANGE OR HOW THIS CAME TO BE?

>> WELL, WE SPOKE TO LORETTO HOSPITAL AND THEIR C.E.O.

GEORGE MILLER SAYS IT WAS ACTUALLY HIM WHO HELPED SETUP THIS EVENT.

BUT WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT WORKERS AT TRUMP TOWER TOLD RESIDENTS THAT IT WAS LORETTO HOSPITAL THAT REACHED OUT TO THEM.

LORETTO HOSPITAL IS SAYING THAT THE TRUMP TOWER REACHED OUT TO THEM AND THEY ARE INVESTIGATING WHY EN R INELIGIBLE WORKERS WERE ABLE TO GET THE VACCINE.

>> AND A JUDGE AND DIFFERING ANSWERS AS TO HOW THAT HAPPENED THOSE WERE NOT ALLOWED IN THE CURRENT PHASE AS WELL.

AMANDA VINICKY IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOARD OF THIS HOSPITAL, AS KELLY MENTIONED THERE'S TWO STATE LAWMAKERS THAT SIT ON THE BOARD.

CAMILLE LILLY THAT WORKS FOR THE HOSPITAL A HOSPITAL THAT GETS TENS OF MILLIONS FROM THE STATE'S MEDICAID PROGRAM.

IS THERE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST HERE THAT THERE CAN BE THIS MUCH CLOUT ON A HOSPITAL BOARD?

>> THOSE ARE QUESTIONS THAT WE ARE ALL ASKING WHAT SORT OF FAVORS MIGHT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD GET IN TERMS OF BE IT VACCINES, EMPLOYMENT, WHATNOT.

WE ARE NOT SAYING THERE IS BUT MERELY THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS TO ASK AND THIS GETS TO SOMETHING WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT A LOT IS THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CORRUPTION IN SPRINGFIELD.

AND THAT IS THAT THERE ARE REALLY LAX ECONOMIC STATEMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST RULES AND TO PLAY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE THERE ARE THOSE THAT SAY IT IS A POSITIVE WHEN YOU HAVE A STATE LEGISLATOR EMPLOYED BY A HOSPITAL BECAUSE IT BRINGS ALONG AN EXPERTISE THIS IS A CITIZEN LEGISLATURE AND TECHNICALLY A PART-TIME JOB.

AND THE REASON FOR THAT BEING WAS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BRING IN FARMERS, DENTISTS, DOCTORS, PEOPLE WITH ALL DIFFERENT SORTS OF KNOWLEDGE.

THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO THAT COIN.

BUT GIVEN KELLY'S REPORTING AND THE TRUMP TOWER THAT IS WHAT IT IS.

IT'S WHO GOT IT.

BECAUSE THESE ARE PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF PRIVILEGE.

>> THERE IS A LOT TO LOOK INTO HERE.

AND KELLY BAUER, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS INVESTIGATING AND THEY HAVE HALTED VACCINATIONS TO THE HOSPITAL.

WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE THEY WILL UNCOVER IN THE PROBE?

>> WE'VE HEARD FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES AND PEOPLE QUESTIONING WHY WASN'T WORKERS AT TRUMP TOWER ABLE TO GET VACCINATED AND NOT OTHER HOTEL WORKERS?

WE'VE SEEN THE C.E.O.

'S CHURCH WAS ABLE TO GET VACCINATED.

Dr. ARWADY THE HEAD OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAID THEY ARE INVESTIGATING.

THEY WILL NOT BE SENDING DOSES TO LORETTO HOSPITAL UNTIL THEY ARE CONFIDENCE THOSE DOSES ARE GOING TO BE USED APPROPRIATELY.

>> ALL RIGHT.

A LOT MORE TO COME ON THIS STORY.

AND CREDIT BLOCK CLUB AND WBEZ FOR AMAZING REPORTING.

AND THE GRISLY SHOOTINGS IN ATLANTA.

EIGHT SHOT, SIX OF ASIAN-AMERICAN DECENT DESCENT.

THE SUSPECT SAID HE HAD A SEX ADDICTION.

DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO YOU?

DOES IT CHANGE THE GRISLY NATURE OF WHAT HAPPENED?

>> NO.

IT REALLY DOESN'T.

I FEEL LIKE IT WAS A HATE CRIME AND WHAT MAKES ME SAD ABOUT THE SITUATION I FEEL LIKE THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF HATE TOWARDS ASIAN-AMERICANS THAT HAS BEEN IGNORED DESPITE ALL OF THE SOCIAL UNREST WE'VE HAD THAT THAT HAS BEEN A PORTION OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT HAS NOT GOTTEN THE ATTENTION OR GOTTEN THE PROTECTION OR GOTTEN THE SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED.

AND THIS SADLY IS WHAT BROUGHT IT TO LIGHT.

AS SOMEBODY ON THE SOUTH SIDE IT BROKE MY HEART.

NO MATTER WHAT THE MOTIVATION HEARTBREAKING AND HEART WRENCHING TO HEAR THAT AND SEE MY FRIENDS OF ASIAN-AMERICAN DESCENT SAYING THE THINGS THEY HAVE DEALT WITH THAT A LOT OF US ME INCLUDED HAVE BEEN IGNORANT TO.

AND I HOPE FROM THIS TRAGEDY THAT THERE CAN BE MORE AWARENESS BROUGHT TO THEM BECAUSE THEY SO MUCH DESERVE IT.

>> ESTHER YOU'VE COVERED THE REACTION OF THE ASIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY HERE IN ILLINOIS TELL US WHAT YOU FOUND WHEN YOU TALK TO LAWMAKERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS?

HOW THEY'VE REACTED TO WHAT HAPPENED?

>> SURE.

THE ASIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY HERE IN CHICAGO IS PRETTY SHAKEN UP I WOULD SAY BECAUSE FOUR OF THE WOMEN IN THE ATLANTA AREA KILLINGS WERE KOREAN AND THE KOREAN COMMUNITY IS SHAKEN UP.

A LOT OF PEOPLE BEING AFRAID TO VENTURE OUT OF THE HOUSE.

ELDERLY.

PEOPLE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR ELDERLY PARENTS THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND WHAT IS REALLY INTERESTING IS THAT A LOT OF THESE CASES ARE ACTUALLY UNDERREPORTED OR UNREPORTED.

PEOPLE ARE SAYING I WILL MOVE ON WITH MY LIFE.

IT WAS MAYBE THAT PERSON WAS HAVING A BAD DAY OR THEY ARE EXCUSING THE PERPETRATOR AND PEOPLE ARE KIND OF JUST SAYING WHAT GOOD IS THERE TO REPORT THIS?

THERE'S NOTHING THAT IS GOING TO COME OF IT.

A LOT OF UNDERREPORTING AND THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AS WELL.

AND THE THING I'M LOOKING FOR IS JUST TO SEE HOW THE SPORTS MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CASE.

IN GEORGIA AND HOW THE MEDIA COVERS THE VICTIMS BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN LARGELY INVISIBLE THROUGHOUT THIS STORY EVEN WHEN THEY ARE THE STORY.

I FIND THAT INCREDIBLY UNFORTUNATE.

>> AND THAT IS PART OF THE FALLOUT IS THE LEGISLATION THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED IN SPRINGFIELD FOR A WHILE, TO SORT OF ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

ONE OF THE BILLS INCLUDES MANDATING THE TEACHING OF THINGS LIKE JAPANESE INTERNMENT CAMPS AND CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT TELL US ABOUT THE EFFORTS AND WHAT KIND OF CHANCE THEY STAND AT BECOMING LAW?

>> SURE.

THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE.

I THINK THE IDEA BEHIND IT IS THAT IF YOU KNOW MORE YOU DO BETTER.

I'M NOT SURE IF THAT ALWAYS PANS OUT BUT IT IS A GOOD START FOR THAT LEGISLATION TO MOVE THROUGH.

ONE THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS A LOT OF AUTHORITIES A LOT OF LEADERS ARE TRYING TO RESPOND TO THIS WITH MORE PATROLS AND POLICING.

AND WHAT I'M HEARING FROM COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IS THAT THAT IS A BAND-AID TO A GAPING WOUND THEY ARE SAYING THERE ARE MORE STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS THAT THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE JUST ADDING MORE PATROLS.

>> AND THE PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT ADDRESSED IT TODAY THIS AFTERNOON.

LET'S MOVE ON TO OTHER ACTION IN SPRINGFIELD.

ILLINOIS HOUSE DEMOCRATS YESTERDAY VOTED TO CENSURE CHRIS MILLER FOR ATTENDING A RALLY AHEAD OF THE INSURRECTION ATTEMPT AT THE U.S. CAPITOL.

>> THAT DAY REPRESENTATIVE MILLER STOOD WITH THE INSURRECTIONISTS.

THAT IS IN DISPUTABLE.

BUT IF REPRESENTATIVE MILLER REGRETTED HIS WORDS, REMORSEFUL FOR HIS ACTIONS HE HAS NOT SHOWN IT.

>> I HAD NO PART IN THE VIOLENT EVENTS AT THE CAPITOL THAT DAY.

AND I CONDEMN ANY AND ALL VIOLENCE.

I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT MY DEDICATION TO THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR STATE AND OUR COUNTRY'S CITIZENS IS SECOND TO NONE.

>> AMANDA VINICKY A CENSURE VOTE IS IT SYMBOLIC OR PU DOES IT CARRY PUNISHMENT?

>> FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ANGRY THAT REPRESENTATIVE MILLER, THERE IS A FEELING THAT THEY ARE DOING AT LEAST SOMETHING.

THEY ARE NOT KICKING HIM OUT OF THE LEGISLATURE SO THERE IS NOT ANY PRACTICAL VALUE OF THIS.

BUT I THINK FOR SOME FOLKS YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO IF SOMETHING IS GOING WRONG AND YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND THIS IS THAT ACTION AND THERE'S POLITICAL CONSEQUENCE.

I DON'T -- I'M NOT SAYING THAT REPRESENTATIVE MILLER IS GOING TO LOSE HIS SEAT.

BUT IT CERTAINLY DOES PUT SOME OF THE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE NOW ON RECORD OR EVEN AND YOU WILL NOTICE THERE WERE DEMOCRATS WHO ABSTAINED FROM THE VOTE BECAUSE ANYTHING CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST A LEGISLATOR IN A FUTURE CAMPAIGN.

>> AND MILLER IS MARRIED HIS WIFE, MARY MILLER IS A CONGRESSWOMAN FROM DOWN STATE WHO QUOTED HITLER THE DAY BEFORE ON JANUARY 5 THE DAY BEFORE THE CAPITOL RIOT.

AND ANOTHER HEATER STORY HERE.

MOST SPOTS ALONG THE LAKEFRONT, KELLY BAUER PARKING SPOTS ARE METERED AND NOW THERE IS AN UPROAR ABOUT PUTTING METERS AT MONTROSE HARBOR.

WHY AN OUTCRY?

>> THERE'S LONG BEEN FREE PARKING AND IT IS A POPULAR BEACH.

AND I THINK PEOPLE ARE VERY CONCERNED THIS THIS COULD BE SOMETHING THAT LIMITS ACCESS TO A BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE LAKEFRONT FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT EASILY ABLE TO TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OR CANNOT SPEND THE MONEY AT A METER TO STAY THERE ALL DAY.

AND PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT IT LIMITING ACCESS TO THE PEOPLE.

>> IS THERE POLITICS AT PLAY.

MARK BROWN REPORTED IN HIS COLUMN IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE GOING UP IN THE 46 WARD PART OF THE HARBOR BUT NOT IN THE 48TH WARD PART OF THE HARBOR AND THAT IS REPRESENTED BY HARRY OSAR MAN.

ANY POLITICAL SHENANIGANS GOING ON?

>> I THINK WE'RE SEEING METERS GO UP ALL OVER THE CITY.

THE ONES HAT MONTROSE HARBOR GOT A LOT OF TENSION BUT THEY LOT ARE GOING UP.

>> AND BECAUSE OF THE PARKING METER DEAL GOING BACK TO THE DALEY ADMINISTRATION, THE CITY IF THEY TAKE AWAY PARKING SPOTS THEY ARE ON THE HOOK TO PAY THAT TO THE PARKING METER COMPANY THEY HAVE TO FIND SPOTS TO PUT METERS IN.

>> PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STAYING HOME.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN GOING OUT AND PAYING THE METERS SO THE CITY IS ON THE HOOK PERIOD FOR THAT MONEY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ARE CLOSED BECAUSE OF FESTIVALS OR PEOPLE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

>> THE PARKING METER DEAL REARS ITS HEAD EVERY FEW WEEKS.

>> YOU WILL GOLY HEAD -- UGLY HEAD.

>> SPORTS, LOYOLA AND ILLINOIS MEN'S BASKETBALL IS SET FOR A HOME STATE SHUTDOWN.

THE BEARS SIGNED DRUM ROLL... ANDY DALTON AS STARTING QUARTERBACK BUT THE QUEST FOR RUSSELL WILLSON IS STILL ALIVE AND WRIGLEY FIELD WILL HOLD SUMMER CONCERTS.

THERE'S START WITH THE EXCITING NEWS.

ANDY DALTON.

NO, KIDDING.

LOYOLA VERSUS ILLINOIS SATURDAY.

SO WHO HAS THE EDGE HERE IN THIS MATCHUP?

>> ALL RIGHT.

I THINK IT'S ILLINOIS.

AND IT IS DISAPPOINTING YOU WANTED A CINDERELLA FOR LOYOLA.

AND IT'S SAD THIS IS HAPPENING BEFORE THE SWEET 16 AND FURTHER DOWN THE LINE.

AND YOU KNOW THE TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE DID THIS ON PURPOSE THIS IS THE MATCHUP THAT THEY WANTED.

AND ILLINOIS HAS BECOME A TRENDY WIN IT ALL PICK.

I BELIEVE THEY CAN WIN IT ALL WITH THE TALENT THEY HAVE AND THE DEPTH THEY HAVE AND THE WAY THEY'RE PLAYING.

I'M REALLY EXCITED I PICKED THEM TO WIN AND I WAS EXCITED.

I MENTIONED THE MATCHUP, LOYOLA IS A DEFENSIVE FIRST TEAM IF THEY CAN SET THE PACE AND CONTROL THE TEMPO WHICH I'M NOT SURE THEY CAN DO, I THINK THEY CAN -- IT CAN BE A CLOSE GAME AND IT WILL BE A LOT OF FUN.

SISTER JEAN IS THERE.

>> AND SISTER JEAN IS PICKING GONZAGA TO WIN IT ALL.

I HEARD THE I-L-L CHANT.

>> ALL RIGHT, LOYOLA.

>> ANY REASONS TO GET EXCITED ABOUT ANDY DALTON AS THE NEXT QUARTERBACK FOR YOUR CHICAGO BEARS?

>> WELL, I MEAN, MAYBE.

IT'S NOT MITCH TRUBISKY HA IS THAT WHAT WE ARE GOING WITH?

NOT THAT THEY STATISTICALLY ARE THAT DIFFERENT.

I THINK MITCH HAD A BETTER SEASON THAN DALTON DID.

HERE IS HOW I DESCRIBE IT, DALTON IS A BAND-AID BUT HE IS A GENERIC BAND-AID, I WILL SAVE MONEY AND USE THIS BAND-AID AND YOU PUT IT ON AND IT'S GOING TO GET WET AND FALL OFF.

THEY SIGNED A QUARTERBACK THAT IS NOT THE NEXT THEY HAVE ASSURED HIM HE WILL BE THE STARTER.

THEY WILL TRY AND DRAFT A QUARTERBACK.

>> DEJA VU HERE.

>> A LITTLE BIT?

TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE BOTH RED HEADS.

IT'S JUST WEIRD.

AND WHAT IS ODD TO ME AND A LOT OF BEARS' FANS ARE SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS YOU GO THROUGH THE LIST, HOW DOES RYAN PACE STILL HAVE THIS JOB?

AND HE DOES AND THE FRANCHISE BACKED HIM TO THE MOON.

AND WE THINK BASED ON THINGS THAT CAME OUT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN EXTENSION STEINED BUT THEY DID NOT WANT TO TELL US THAT IN JANUARY.

THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON THAT DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY ARE HEALTHY AND I FEEL LIKE THAT IS WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW WITH THE WAY THEY ARE APPROACHING FREE AGENCY, SIGNING ANDY DALTON.

IT FEELS LIKE THEY ARE STUCK IN NFL IMMEDIATE OCTOBERRY AND THEY ARE DRIVING THE BUS TO 8-8 OR WORSE >> AND YOU HEAR PLAYERS SPEAKING OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA SAYING WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

THERE'S THOUGHT MAYBE THEY ARE IN THE MARKET FOR RUSSELL WILLSON AND ANDY DALTON SWEETENS THE POT AND THEY NEED PETE CAROL IN SEATTLE TO SIGN ON AND RUSSELL WILLSON WILL COME OUR WAY.

>> PARIS, THINK ABOUT THAT.

RUSSELL WILLSON HAS BEEN TO THE PLAYOFFS LIKE EIGHT TIMES IN HIS CAREER.

RIGHT?

ANDY DALTON DOESN'T SWEETEN ANYBODY A POT WHEN THE END IS RUSSELL WILLSON.

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ARE THE BEARS DOING?

ALL WEEKEND, SO LIKE NOT ANDY DALTON WE MUST HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD SOMETHING.

>> WOW.

TO BE DETERMINED THEN THOUGHT THAT THEY MIGHT LAND WIDE RECEIVER FROM THE LIONS, KENNY GALDAY.

HICKS MIGHT BE AT ANY RATE TRADED.

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN OUT OF ALL THESE MOVES?

>> I DON'T KNOW I AM AFRAID THEY DON'T KNOW EITHER AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

YOU DON'T BRING IN A QUARTERBACK THIS IS NOT BRING IN A QUARTERBACK AND WIN THE SUPER BOWL.

AND AS THEY TRY TO REBUILD THE OFFENSE THE DEFENSE AGES EVERY YEAR AND NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO CLEAN HOUSE WITH GUYS IN I ADORE HICKS BUT HE HAS BEEN INJURED A LOT.

WHAT IF ANYTHING THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET FOR HIM IS A HEAD-SCRATCHER.

AND KYLE FULLER THAT WAS A MONEY MOVE AND IT'S SAD BECAUSE HE HAD HIS BEST SEASONS WHEN THEY HAD A BEST PASS RUSH.

YOU CAN SEE WHY BEARS FANS ARE FRUSTRATED AND THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE AT THIS POINT.

>> I AM WITH YOU ON THAT.

TWO SECONDS LEFT.

KELLY, WRIGLEY FIELD IS GOING TO HAVE CONCERTS IN JULY.

ARE THOSE CONCERTS GOING TO BE FULL CAPACITY?

>> I'M NOT CERTAIN IF THEY WILL BE FULL CAPACITY BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXCITED THE CITY IS LOOKING AT IT TO BRING BACK THE MAJOR FESTIVALS AND EVENTS AND I KNOW A COUPLE PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO SEE LADY GA-GA AT QUIGLEY FIELD.

>> YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE THEIR NAMES KELLY AND BAUER AND AMANDA VINICKY.

>> WE'RE OUT OF TIME THANK YOU SO MUCH.
