They honestly should have named it Lily's Law or something & made a stink about it
Remember folks: in a year, Chicago is having municipal elections! How did your alderman vote?

After alders voted down ordinance allowing citizens to report bus/bike lane blockage, Ald. La Spata cited the Lily Shambrook case: "Everybody wants to show up at press conferences next to the parents of dead children. Nobody wants to do things about it."

Okay, 2026 should be the year Illinois lawmakers do something about the housing shortage
Governor JB Pritzker announced his plan to address the state’s housing shortage in 2026. This is the third year in a row I’ve written about proposed legislation to unlock new housing in…

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE
then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"
and i was like.
oh!

Indiana Bears is so funny. Illinois shouldn't give them a dime, the bears make money from being in Chicago, not the other way around.

Local hero, found to be even more impressive than previously known.
This Minneapolis man who tracks ice thickness on our lakes is also a Metro Transit bus driver. I met him at last year's Ward 7 convention, where he was a delegate for Katie Cashman. Showed me his arm tattoo of Boston's subway map.

A Minneapolis man is keeping the Twin Cities safe by measuring the ice thickness on the city's Chain of Lakes. FOX 9's Maury Glover has the story.

The engine was based on the cast iron block of the diesel version with a specially developed 16-valve head.
It was moved from the front of the vehicle to the rear, transforming it from a front-engine, front-wheel-drive to a rear-mid engine four-wheel-drive automobile.
