Question of the day

Posted in:

• Illinois

* In one word sum up the Chicago media’s coverage of state political stories during the past month. Do not use the words “Rahm” or “Emanuel” or any iteration thereof. That’s just too easy.

OK, I’ve changed my mind. You can’t talk about this past month without somehow using those words. Feel free, but try to be creative with it.
