Week in Review: Pritzker Launches Bid for 3rd Term; CTU Calls for More Borrowing to Avoid Cuts

Gov. JB Pritzker touts his administration’s accomplishments as setting Illinois on the right path as he announces he’s running for a third term as governor.

Republicans respond by calling him an out-of-touch tax-and-spender.

The new interim leader of Chicago Public Schools says the district “must center our young people.”

The Chicago Teachers Union calls for more borrowing to avoid classroom cuts as the city faces a budget deficit of $529 million for the coming school year.

Meantime, Chicago police agree not to search vehicles because of the smell of cannabis.

Illinois joins a coalition of states suing the Trump administration over drastic cuts — as the U.S. Supreme Court grants the president a partial victory on his birthright citizenship executive order.

And mourners gather to pay their respects as slain CPD Officer Krystal Rivera is laid to rest.
