Week in Review: Pritzker and Bailey Face Off; Massive Misconduct Settlement Approved

JB Pritzker and Darren Bailey face off for the first and only time in the race for Illinois governor.

President Donald Trump looms large in WTTW News’ candidate forum – along with plenty of sparring on taxes, public safety and the Bears.

After a contentious debate, alderpeople fail to override Mayor Brandon Johnson’s veto of a measure that would make it harder for the city to borrow. 

The City Council also approves a massive police misconduct settlement, and expands an effort to curb bus and bike lane scofflaws.

Meanwhile, a lawsuit meant to block mayoral hopefuls from running for office in the midterm is thrown out.

And the Chicago Public Schools Inspector General again closes an investigation into school board president candidate Hilario Dominguez.
