A coalition of legal and political activists have formally requested that a special prosecutor replace Anita Alvarez in the prosecution of the police officer who shot Laquan McDonald. The Lucas Museum’s future in Chicago is in serious question, while the mayor is on board with an old O’Hare express train idea and reverses course on O’Hare jet noise alleviation with a new flight path rotation at night to appease angry neighbors.
