For decades, the only way to know how to vote in Cook County judicial elections was to go on a research dive or trust the local Democratic Party's picks. But thanks to Injustice Watch and its new judge's guide, voters have a third option. Injustice Watch editor Jonah Newman joined The Daily Line's Alex Nitkin to walk through the ins and outs of the judge's guide, how Cook County judicial races have changed over the decades and what it means to be an informed judicial voter.
Reset brings on Injustice Watch editor Jonah Newman to discuss the group’s 2020 guide for Cook County’s judicial elections.
Jonah Newman of Injustice Watch talks about the organizations’s guide to help you decide who to vote for when it comes to the large slate of judgeships up for grabs in Cook County. And WBEZ’s Mariah Woelfel gives you the latest in the primary contest for Illinois’ 3rd congressional district
Reset checks in with Jonah Newman of the reporting nonprofit Injustice Watch for more on their 2020 Judicial Election Guide.
Ken Davis is joined by Northwestern University School of Law’s Sheila Bedi, The Chicago Reporter’s Jonah Newman and Black Lives Matters Chicago’s Jonathan Projanski. They discuss the City’s recent release of a draft consent decree covering police reform in Chicago. They talk about the fact that community organizations won the right to participate in the drafting of the proposed decree, and their concern that many of the recommendations their groups proposed did not make it into the final draft. They also discuss the role of the Chicago police union in opposing many of the group’s proposals and speculate that, even if the ultimate federally-monitored decree is accepted by the judge and assigned to a monitor, the process of reforming the CPD will take many years, perhaps decades. This program was produced by Chicago Access Network Television (CAN TV).
Ken Davis is joined by The Chicago Reporter’s Jonah Newman, who has compiled an interactive web-based tracker of Chicago police reform efforts. The Department of Justice identified 99 items they believed needed reform at CPD, and the Reporter’s tracker lists each, describes it, and labels each as implemented, partially implemented, planned, not done or unclear. It shows only 6 of the 99 in the implemented category. They also discuss moonlighting by Chicago police and the high number of cash settlements (943) the City has paid out since 2011 because of police misconduct. This program was produced by Chicago Access Network Television (CAN TV).
