The Week in Review with Joel Weisman


The video cannot be displayed.

This week on Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review: Joel Weisman and his panel analyze the state's 67 percent income tax hike. How were Democrats able to corral enough votes to pass it? Will legislative leaders have to borrow and make more cuts to bring the fiscal house back in order? Will businesses really flee for neighboring states like Wisconsin and Indiana? We'll also catch up on the mayoral race. Candidate Gery Chico unveiled his first advertisement this week, while Rahm Emanuel took a strong tack against the unions. And how about those Metra quiet cars? And the announcement that Chinese President Hu Jintao is coming to town next week? Finally, in sports, the Bears get ready for the surprising Seahawks - can they avoid a letdown?
