From this month's Chicago City Briefing in the Economist -
Economist.com - Cities Guide (http://www.economist.com/cities/briefing.cfm?city_id=CHI)
Chicago's Police Department Needs to be Reformed.
The City of Chicago's Budget Battle.
Chicago's Public Schools Continue to Rank Near the Bottom.
Drew Peterson of Bolingbrook Continues to Make the News - Now Worldwide.
And my favorite --
Metra will be raising it's fares 10% for each of the next three years, the first fare hike starting in Feb.
I ride the Metra several times a week, but I'm not complaining, either about the current level of service or the fare hike. It's a great value IMHO unless they raise fares more than several times the current level, even then it might be a toss-up vs. commuting via car.
