Week in Review: Broadview Protester Charges Dropped; Tipped Minimum Wage Phaseout Delayed

Federal prosecutors drop all charges against Broadview protesters after stunning misconduct allegations.

A federal judge says she was “incredibly shocked” by the behavior of prosecutors — saying they violated the trust placed in them.

Meanwhile, a Cook County judge denies a bid to appoint a special prosecutor charged with investigating “Operation Midway Blitz” misconduct claims.

Alderpeople reach a compromise measure delaying the phaseout of tipped minimum wage for two years.

Amid the debate over the new Bears stadium, Gov. JB Pritzker throws cold water on last-minute claims that Chicago could still be in the running.

And Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke expands her office’s focus on prosecuting crimes on transit to include Metra, Pace and an array of law enforcement agencies.
