Ken Davis is joined by three veteran Chicago reporters: WBEZ’s Sarah Karp, Chicago Public Square’s Charlie Meyerson and NPR’s David Schaper. They discuss the surprising degree of youth activism that’s sprung up in Florida following the mass shooting there and the effect it’s having on American politics. They also discuss the recent change of administration at Chicago Public Schools and assess new CEO Janice Jackson’s likelihood for success after Forrest Claypool – and Sarah’s recent report on the “hollowing out” of Chicago’s Hope High School. Finally, the panel assesses the likelihood for success of President Trump’s infrastructure plan, which proposes to spend 1.5 trillion dollars, almost none of it federal money – and the prospects for Block Club Chicago, the new company that proposes to replace DNAInfo Chicago. This program was produced by Chicago Access Network Television (CAN TV).
