Week in Review: Judge Questions ‘Broadview Six’ Prosecution; White Sox Win First Playoff Series Since 2005

After months of debate and a stalled attempt at a vote, the new parking meter deal clears the Chicago City Council.

Despite some lingering dissenters, the resale sails through in a 46-3 vote.

Elected officials and reform advocates demand state regulators reject a proposed $144 million Peoples Gas rate increase and call for changes to its pipe replacement program.

Meanwhile, a federal judge grills prosecutors over their handling of the botched “Broadview Six” case.

Chicago Board of Education president hopeful Sendhil Revuluri drops out of the race, blaming a firehose of special interest spending.

For the first time since 2005, the White Sox win a postseason series. The South Siders sweep the Houston Astros to move on to the Division Series.

And the Cubs season stumbles to a finish in San Diego.
