"Chicago Current, which bills itself as �Chicago�s Place for Politics,� just added a new opinion section. For openers, U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley, a Democrat, and State Senator Kirk Dillard, a Republican, debated the impact of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich�s trial on Illinois politics.
The Current appears online and in a monthly print edition. Editor Geoff Dougherty said of the new addition:
�Most opinion sections offer very little in terms of revealing and valuable observations. Our readers are entrenched in the daily grind of politics, and by inviting elected officials to contribute, we offer readers unique points of view they won�t find anywhere else.�"
