COVER STORY
PAGE 31
Three aldermen who have been representing Chicago Police Of- ficers in the city council with unconditional and unquestioned loyalty will need all the support they can get from Lodge 7 members in the February election. This special report spotlights these unique leaders:
• Anthony Napolitano: The 41st ward alderman was born to be a public servant, and he honed his skills as a police officer and firefighter.
• Ariel Reboyras: He learned the importance of city service by working his way up from driving a truck to becoming chair of the city council committee on public safety.
• Nicholas Sposato: Going to great lengths on behalf of Chicago Police Officers has become a way of life for the 38th ward alderman.
