This week on Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review, Chicagoans are hit with both a whopping 87 percent toll hike and a $150 million property tax increase for the Chicago Public Schools. Meanwhile, the RTA and the City are suing two Illinois towns over lost sales tax revenue. The Chicago Teachers Union rejects a 2 percent raise for longer school days. So now, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is appealing to preachers to sermonize Sunday for more time in the classroom. Mike Madigan riles fellow Democrats by attending a fundraiser for Republican Speaker John Boehner. And in sports, the Bears battle the Titans after the New York Giants thumping on Monday Night Football. And the White Sox slip further back in the Central Division, while the Ricketts’ oust longtime Cubs General Manager Jim Hendry.
