Lawmakers return to Springfield for the fall veto session and start conversations about “Trump-proofing” Illinois.
The Chicago City Council unanimously votes down Mayor Brandon Johnson’s $300 million property tax hike proposal.
Meanwhile, attorneys for former House Speaker Michael Madigan start mounting their defense.
And the Bears start looking at yet another potential new stadium site: the former Michael Reese Hospital campus in Bronzeville.
