This week on Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is spending amid belt-tightening, giving CPS principals performance bonuses as the city is forced to settle a firefighter’s suit for $45 million. The Mayor also believes that it’s time to settle with victims of alleged police torture. With the market’s volatility, did Google overspend with its $12.5 billion buyout of Motorola Mobility? Three Illinois hospitals lose property tax exemptions for a so-called lack of charity care. And in sports, the Bears win their first pre-season game as Devin Hester is implicated in the University of Miami booster scandal when he was a student athlete there.
