??

In "progressive" wards, Reform Democrats won two seats; in "machine"
wards, Regular Democrats won two seats.

During my 25 years in Chicago, there was exactly one Republican on the
City Council, Bernie Stone of West Rogers Park. He did not vote with the
Reform faction ("29-21" during Harold Washington's first term, not
"28-21-1").
