Opinion: The company you keep is latest controversy in 45th Ward

That’s how the topsy-turvy dynamics of the 45th Ward have been described by aldermen, committeemen and journalists in the past 25 years. It seems anything can blow up, at any time, into a “controversy.” Sometimes it’s an ex-alderman parking his boat on a city street, sometimes a politico using language out of “The Sopranos” when referring to women, and sometimes it’s the company you keep.
