This week on Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review, more details emerge about the expletive-filled meeting between Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis about extending the school day immediately. Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy and the Mayor shuffle more police back to street beats. Gov. Pat Quinn makes good on his promise to veto the ComEd rate hike. Reports abound that U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald wants 30 years to life for former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. And in sports, the Bears prepare for the Saints, as Brian Urlacher copes with his mother's unexpected death by hitting the gridiron.
