The BGA took up the issue of inefficient townships recently as well as attacks on the Freedom of Information Act.  Emily joins us with the latest.

Brandon Wetherbee– Host of the You, Me, Them, Everybody Podcast

Tonight at 8:00 p.m. at Cole’s Bar (2338 N. Milwaukee) Brandon hosts a special YMTE Mid-Week in Review show.  OTL host Mike Stephen is one of the panelists so come on out for a discussion of local current events that’s way better than the McLaughlin Group!

Maureen Martino— Executive Director of the Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce

Wal-Mart has proposed moving into the Lakeview East neighborhood (on Broadway and Surf).  Maureen gives us her reaction to this proposal.
