Like the plan Pritzker laid out in his February budget address, the House Democrats’ proposal would suspend the 1% state sales tax on groceries for a year, give homeowners a one-time property tax rebate of up to $300, and pause an inflation-based increase in the gas tax. The House plan also includes direct payments to taxpayers, but on a much more limited basis than the Senate plan.
“This speaks to a much more bumpy, difficult, violent, challenging future for the coming generation if we don’t get some things right — here at home, in Europe, in Asia and Latin America because what’s happening there is not isolated,” the former president said.

McCarthy was recently working as a security consultant for a Logan Square marijuana dispensary. In 2012, with McCarthy’s support, Chicago decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana. Still, police continued to make thousands of arrests each year under McCarthy, with Black people and Latinos disproportionately targeted.
We’ve seen Cubs teams come from nowhere to contend, as they memorably did during playoff seasons in 1984, 1989, 1998 and 2003. For this edition to pull off a surprise, it needs veterans Kyle Hendricks, Jason Heyward and Ian Happ to have rebound seasons after poor showings in 2021; Stroman and Suzuki to be the game-changers the Cubs are betting on; Frank Schwindel and Patrick Wisdom to pick up where they left off; and young players such as Justin Steele, Keegan Thompson, Nick Madrigal, Clint Frazier and Nico Hoerner to take big steps forward.
A Berwyn native, Peterik, 71, has been in The Ides of March twice — from 1966 until 1973 and again since the group’s revival in 1990. He also was in Survivor from 1978 until 1988 and again from 1993 until 1996. He may be most known for cowriting the “Rocky III” theme song, “Eye of the Tiger.”
Water Tower Place has faced significant challenges over the last several years. In January 2021, the mall’s anchor tenant, Macy’s, announced it was vacating its space in the mall, leaving more than 300,000 square feet empty for the first time since the mall opened in 1975. The department store opened that year as Marshall Field’s; it had operated under the Macy’s name since 2006.
Through a land trust, the Collitons paid $1.63 million in 2019 for the 11-room house in Lakeview, which was built in 2008. Located on a cul-de-sac, the house has 4-1/2 bathrooms, three gas fireplaces, hardwood floors, a third-floor office and media room, a playroom on the lower level, and an attached and heated, two-car garage. Outside are three decks with new composite decking, and snow melt for both the new front steps and the driveway.
