Week in Review: Chicago Teachers Poised to Approve New Contract; Trump Tariffs Tank Global Stock Markets

Chicago teachers appear to be on the brink of approving a new contract union leaders are calling “transformative” — but questions remain over how it will be paid for.

President Donald Trump declares a trade war — slapping tariffs on virtually every country around the globe — and triggering a massive stock market sell-off.

Chicago leaders debate whether to further restrict teens’ access to downtown.

Suburban voters head to the polls — with two-term Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin shown the door, and a longtime foe of Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard winning that seat.

And the Chicago Bears are once again talking up a potential move to Arlington Heights.
