Comstock believes that the 800-pound bison, sometimes called Billy by fans, has been drawn to her sister, who remained at Milk & Honey after Billy escaped Sept. 18. The most recent sighting, a few days ago, was about an eighth of a mile from the farm on North Williams Park Road.

“We were hoping that they would deny the permit. However, it’s not a shock,” said Amalia NietoGomez, executive director of the Alliance of the Southeast, a coalition of community groups. “We are fairly disappointed that toxic dredgings will continue into the new year.”

Illinois’ jobless rate has dropped from its pandemic high of 16.5% to 5.7% in November, according to the most recent federal job numbers for the state. With one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, that’s above the national average of 4.2%. While Illinois’ unemployment rate is consistently higher when compared to other states, it fared better than California, which had the highest unemployment rate at 6.9%, as well as Nevada at 6.8% and New York, whose jobless rate was 6.6%.

“That also has to be ciphered through emotions and frustrations from my voice. When I say things now, it’s not like being a player. It’s not like being in the front office. I am the manager and so if I walk up to (a player), I’m like, ‘What were you doing on that play?’ He’s like, ‘The manager hates me.’ No, no, I don’t hate you, we’re just trying to win. We’re trying to set up teaching moments.”

I have raised that question in recent weeks because if the Bears are in a full rebuild during the offseason, I’m not sure they will want to pay two pass rushers over age 30. Quinn does not have any guaranteed money remaining on his contract, but his base salary for 2022 is $12.8 million, and he has a $100,000 workout bonus, which would mean the Bears would need to move a super-hefty contract. In other words, they might not get a premium draft pick in return. Keep an eye on Khalil Mack and Quinn and wait to see if something happens to the front office and what moves the Bears make. There will be some clues in February and early March. But boy, Quinn has had a fantastic season and is on an absolute roll with 16 sacks, closing in on Richard Dent’s 1984 franchise record of 17½ sacks.

Lightfoot’s ordinance, however, gives the city’s top lawyer an option to release IG investigation reports in cases that involve a death or a possible felony, and are “of a compelling public interest.” They also must be reports that include sustained findings of conduct connected with a felony or death, a Lightfoot spokeswoman said in a statement.
