The outspoken former pol says it's ridiculous the way politicians ran campaigns this season with none of them offering plans with solutions, but spending their campaigns bashing each other.
Loren-Maltese says her show, "Politics-Chicago Style" will not pull any punches.
She says the show's executive producer is TV veteran Len Poteracki.
Loren-Maltese would be joining two other local ex-con politicians who've found jobs in broadcasting, former Chicago Ald. Cliff Kelley and former City Clerk Jim Laski.
