The Rundown
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich wants to get in on our action. He's set up video cameras at the Thompson Center in downtown Chicago and wants voters to stop by and carp on camera about the CTA funding crisis.
In other words: He wants to Vocalo. But why let him take charge? I mean, isn't he just gonna erase all the clips where people complain about his role in all this?
So call 888-635-1112 or post to Vocalo yourself. We'll make sure the Governor gets the message.
Meanwhile, we've got more of your stories, songs, calls and requests.
Plus ABC773 joins us by phone to ask for your thoughts: If you could go back and give your 17-year-old self some advice, what would it be? You can respond on our hotline: 888-635-1112.
And we get live reports on the New Hampshire primary from two Chicago high school students-- one campaigning for Barack Obama, the other for Rudy Giuliani.
Marycj (a.k.a. Mary C. Johns, editor of the Residents Journal) joins us to talk about this story she just posted to Vocalo about a legal battle involving public housing residents in Chicago.
TheStevenLane talks about the Chicago Critical Mass Art Show; hey, if the CTA collapses, a lot more of us are gonna have to start riding our bikes more often.
And Steve Rhodes gets our mock-the-governor campaign off to a proper start.
