Meet Your Government, Part 2: Police Accountability with Molly Smith

Politics, in one sense, is what happens when policy objectives meet reality. Hosts Sarah Scott and Eric Geber explore how local policies are debated and implemented right here in Chicago. Each episode of "Meet Your Alderman" introduces listeners to a different alderman from the city's 50 wards and covers policies like education, economic development, policing, and housing. Meet Your Alderman is brought to you by the University of Chicago Public Policy Podcasts (UC3P).
