So, all right, Tracy, we're going to let you go so you can enjoy your time in Pittsburgh.

We're talking to Tracy Butler at ABC7.

Our one last thought before we let you go, though.

So when we're making our picks later this afternoon, what you're telling us is that we should not – base it based on the weather at this Georgia Alabama game, because it shouldn't have too, too big of an impact on the game.

That's good to hear.

Good to hear.

All right.

The following comes from ABC 7 Chicago and Craig Wall.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson earlier this week laid out the groundwork for a budget proposal that could rely heavily on new taxes on corporations and wealthy residents as the city confronts an $880 million budget shortfall.

Speaking about his priorities ahead of the release of his proposed budget, Johnson framed the upcoming debate as a fight over protecting city services while criticizing corporate interests and those calling for spending cuts before tax increases.

And he built a huge reputation around integrity, credibility, and high quality storytelling.

He worked across major Chicago stations, including WLSTV, WBBM-TV, and CBS2, where he anchored evening newscasts and reported on all of the significant stories that are impacting our world.

Again, he earned those multiple Emmy Awards and was known for his clear and confident delivery.

But more than that, just how did he connect and earn the trust of audiences? Now, a couple of years ago, he transitioned from television into his own communications consulting firm.
