Kirk Dillard nearly pulls off an upset, but wealthy businessman Bruce Rauner narrowly escapes with the Republican nomination for governor. Jim Oberweis will try again to win a seat on Capitol Hill. Illinois’ jobless rate is trending in the wrong direction. Vacant city lots to go on sale for $1. And in sports, the Blackhawks lose leading scorer Patrick Kane to injury.
