Emanuel continues his frenzied fundraising, including big money contributions from labor leaders who once opposed him. He’s also reaching out to Lewis’ progressive base with affordable housing initiatives, a proposal to raise Chicago’s minimum wage and plans to broaden the authority of Inspector General Joe Ferguson after getting out from under the Shakman decree.
