Greg previews all of the races on the spring ballot, including two statewide races (DPI Superintendent and State Supreme Court Justice), one proposed amendment to the state constitution, and several uncontested local races (6 judges and 1 school board), before looking at developments in the District 3 alder race.  Finally, a brief preview of March 8 Harambee Neighborhood Improvement District's annual meeting, where elections for board members will be held.

Musical accompaniment this week is a brief tour of the evolution of highlife, starting with the palm wine music of the Kumasi Trio (Yaa Amponsah), the postwar highlife sound of ET Mensah (Suntan Oblayei), the Igbo highlife of Celestine Ukwu (Onwunwa), and the burger highlife of George Darko (Akoo To Brofo) and Lee Dodou (Sahara Akwantuo, with the Polyverse Souls).  Theme song for the Spring Election Special is We The People by the Staples Singers.
