Week in Review: Johnson Seeks to Curb Smoking on CTA; City Invests in Shelter System

Two doctors charged with draining Loretto Hospital of millions of dollars are reportedly living large on the run in Dubai.

Mayor Brandon Johnson wants to curb smoking on the CTA, sparking questions from an alderperson who already announced a similar effort.

Meanwhile, the city makes a major investment to improve its shelter system for Chicagoans experiencing homelessness.

And Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signs a so-called “squatter bill” to make it easier for police to remove squatters.
