Description

Despite complaints from riders about unreliable service, CTA President Dorval Carter’s pay has only climbed during his eight years on the job. The Tribune’s A.D. Quig and writer Evan Moore talk with host Jacoby Cochran about Carter’s tenure, get into the numbers of Mayor Brandon Johnson’s plan to tax high-end real estate sales, and discuss the future of Chicago’s soccer fandom after one of the sport’s biggest stars missed an appearance at Soldier Field. Plus, we show some love to the businesses on 75th Street, Chicago’s role in hip-hop, and a 104-year-old skydiver.
