This is awful. You can help by becoming a member. The CST provides a valuable, contrasting voice to the Trib.
Thirty employees of the Chicago Sun-Times — around one in five on its payroll — have agreed to resign after a buyout offer.
The departures primarily affect writers and editors, many of whom have extensive experience at the newspaper.

Same day as the near-miss at Midway airport, I saw not one but TWO vehicles brazenly run red lights. Not push a yellow, the light was red and they cruised on through. One was a semi tractor trailer! I was so glad the driver in front of me paused before going, because we would have been smushed.

I quit Amazon over 10 years ago. Quit the Prime membership and just shopped elsewhere- it's NOT HARD. Guess what happened when I quit Amazon? My credit card bills have been significantly LOWER every month, because I'm not mindlessly buying crap I don't need.
