Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle accepted campaign money from union amid talks with her agencies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s widely known that Mayor Brandon Johnson’s campaign has been heavily funded by labor unions that he holds influence over, a legal but ethically questionable practice. One of Johnson’s political mentors, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, has been doing the same — accepting millions of dollars in campaign contributions from labor groups that her administration negotiates collective bargaining agreements with, records show. But a Chicago Sun-Times review found Preckwinkle at times h
Woman alleges in new lawsuit she was sexually abused as a teen in 1990s at the Willow Creek megachurch (opens the original)

Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, one of the country’s largest and best-known evangelical congregations, doesn’t just aim to fix souls, it also fixes vehicles through what’s called the “C.A.R.S. Ministry.” Vehicle owners in financial need can qualify for low-cost repairs through the program, which stands for Christian Automotive Repair Service and involves mechanics working in an auto shop on church property.

Suburban man described as 'enforcer' for biker club is sentenced for broad-daylight beating of motorist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was like a scene out of the gritty TV series Sons of Anarchy.

Read excerpt
A decade ago while a trustee on the Alsip village board, John Ryan led the charge to impose term limits on the mayor and other elected officials in the south suburb so nobody would be able to serve more than three consecutive four-year terms. He marshaled enough support on the village board to get a binding referendum placed on the 2016 ballot, letting Alsip voters decide whether to impose those limits, which they did. Today, Ryan is Alsip’s mayor and in the midst of his third consecutive term —
Mayor Daley's argument that he shuttered Meigs Field out of post-9/11 security concerns never seemed credible (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As concert-goers stream onto Northerly Island this weekend to catch a show by the South Side’s own Chief Keef at an outdoor theater, they may not realize there used to be a different type of buzz there: Of planes taking off and landing at a little airport called Meigs Field. But Chicagoans of a certain age may recall its controversy: The general aviation airfield, with a single runway and a stubby control tower, occupied the artificial island starting in the late 1940s, ultimately catering to av
