On this edition of Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review with Joel Weisman, we take a look at Gov. Pat Quinn’s proposed Medicaid makeover. Two big-ticket items on Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s agenda are fixing Chicago’s crumbling infrastructure and installing speed cameras near schools and parks. And who would pay for a Fenway Park-style renovation to Wrigley Field? Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is in Springfield to boast about the Badger State’s business climate. And in sports, it was the hit heard ‘round the league, as Raffi Torres is suspended for his vicious hit on Marian Hossa.
