Description: Here's a rare WFLD Editorial (first one we've ever found!). This one features Robert R. Hartman, General Manager of WFLD-TV.

He talks about the public hearings that are being held at local area High Schools in order for the Chicago Plan Commission (headed by Miles Berger) to solicit feedback regarding "Mayor Byrne's comprehensive plan for future development in the city". It ends with a listing of the hearings, what school they will take place at and on what date and time. "Channel 32 encourages response to its Editorials."

Opening and ending voiceovers by Jim Barton.

"Here in Marina City, we are expanding our facilities to serve you better..."

This aired on local Chicago TV Thursday, October 1st 1981.
