AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

School Budget: Evanston District 65 parents uncovered a $17 million math error that overstated projected building costs, but the district says the money is restricted and is still planning to close two schools and cut more than 200 jobs. Chicago’s Finances: Mayor Brandon Johnson’s $17.6 billion budget faces questions over its proposed taxes and how to cover an $882 million gap. Aldermen are also pushing to direct $75 million from a parking-meter deal to city pensions instead of the budget. Election Watch: With Election Day near, Illinois voters can check polling places and find guidance on accessible voting. The governor candidates all want the Bears to stay in Illinois, but differ on whether public money should support infrastructure for a new stadium. Consumer Protection: Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul joined a 20-state lawsuit accusing Dollar General of charging shoppers more than advertised prices.**
