Description

Ivy Kelly, after decades in prison, refused a plea deal to clear his name, standing against a murder charge tainted by corruption. Meanwhile, Chicago’s school board stunned officials by rejecting the superintendent’s budget, approving a plan to cancel over a thousand layoffs—though it hinges on unsecured state funds. Renters and landlords clash over housing reforms, with tenants pushing for transparency and support, while council members favor landlord-friendly changes. In sports, women’s pro baseball returns to Illinois as the L.A. Queens, led by 18-year-old Amira Hondras, debut in Springfield. And Lollapalooza launched with Lorde and John Summit headlining, setting the stage for a weekend of music and celebration.
