Jan 29, 2026 10:07 PM

Mayor Lori Lightfoot nixes a plan for a $42 million property tax increase tied to inflation.

A WGN poll says Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker has a double-digit lead over his Republican challenger Darren Bailey, who this week likened Chicago to an unruly child.

Forty years after the Tylenol-poisoning murders that rocked the nation and changed drug packaging forever, could charges be brought against the chief suspect in the unsolved murders.
