AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Governor’s Race: Gov. JB Pritzker and Republican Darren Bailey are set for another November showdown, with independent candidate Collin Corbett pitching a middle ground. CPS Finances: As Chicago voters elect a new school board, many candidates say they would resist annual property-tax hikes, even as the district faces a projected $730 million deficit. School Board Spending: Spending in the Chicago board race has topped $6 million, with voters choosing the board president and 20 other members on Nov. 3. Disaster Aid: The Trump administration again denied Illinois federal assistance for August storm damage. Election Oversight: A House panel is seeking answers from Champaign County after ballot errors and a pause in early voting. Cannabis: Illinois posted a new monthly sales record after doubling purchase limits, while state data show tax revenue has dipped as customers buy more at lower prices.
