CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Former U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan is the founder and leader of Chicago CRED, a group that works with young people who've been involved with gun violence.
He said Chicago spends about $10 million in anti-violence programs and it should be $50 million. And there's an ordinance before the City Council that would mandate that.
They made the call after a week's worth of activities by anti-violence activists and experts.
Autry Philips, the director of the Target Area Development Corporation, said they've had the best success working with people who've been involved with gun violence. Duncan's program works on that model.
