AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Chicago Budget Fight: Mayor Brandon Johnson is defending his 2027 spending plan as aldermen push back, with 28 opposing the proposal and debate focused on new taxes and city finances. State Regulation: Illinois’ new hemp law has taken effect, restricting sales of THC drinks to licensed cannabis businesses and leaving retailers clearing out affected products. Federal Funding: Sen. Tammy Duckworth joined three other senators in demanding that any stopgap spending deal bar money for the Iran war, raising the risk of a shutdown when funding expires Dec. 11. DEI Grants: The Seventh Circuit appeared skeptical of an Illinois education nonprofit’s bid to restore federal grants cut over its diversity initiatives, as judges questioned its First Amendment claim.
