All righty.

The following comes from WTTW Chicago and Heather Cherone.
DennisHOST
There kind of seems to be a theme going on here in the Chicago mayoral election thus far.
DennisHOST
It's that any time the mayor announces something, all the other candidates just go and bash him.
DennisHOST
Can you believe that? He's eating breakfast.
DennisHOST
He's got work to do.
DennisHOST
Again, the following comes from WTTW and Heather Cherone.
DennisHOST
Mayor Brandon Johnson unveiled his proposed 2027 spending plan on Wednesday, seeking to frame the debate over the 17.6 billion, with a B, budget as a choice between the status quo that has left too many Chicagoans scrambling to make ends meet and enriching those who need it the least.

Her parties drew guests from every walk of life, and at one of them, Friedkin met a man who would change his life forever.
Jake BibleHOST
Out of his depth, Friedkin drifted to a corner to watch, quietly working out how to slip away without making a fuss.

Sasha-Ann SimonsHOST
Now, Shia, this is going to be their only debate.
Brandon PopeGUEST
They know the opposition is there, right? Yeah.

And as WTTW points out, I mean, even with this budget, expenses still outpace revenue.

So it is still structurally unbalanced.

So there is more to do here.

Taking their most direct shots yet at Illinois' gubernatorial election rematch, incumbent Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker went head-to-head with Republican nominee Darren Bailey Tuesday night in the only televised debate scheduled before the polls close next month.

The billionaire two-term governor squared off with the downstate farmer and former legislator at a WTTW news forum that saw the pair frequently talking over each other while weathering attacks familiar from their first electoral go-around four years ago.

It did mark Bailey's latest appeal to win over Chicago-area voters, who soundly rejected him in 2022.
Tom PowellHOST
Sorry, I just got a quick text message coming through my phone.
