Residents Want Same Street Fix Their Alderman Got


The 8800 block of South Leavitt in Chicago's 19th Ward is full of potholes and cracks and has no curbs. One block away, the 8900 block of South Bell -- where the local alderman, Virginia Rugai, lives -- was resurfaced in 2008 and still looks brand new.

You could call it a tale of two streets. One of them is perfect; freshly resurfaced with nice sidewalks and curbs. The other is a mess. They're just a block apart in the same ward in the Beverly neighborhood. As 2 Investigator Pam Zekman reports, residents in the 19th Ward were pretty angry over how their alderman has been spending a special fund intended for ward improvements.
