This Pulitzer for the @BetterGov & @chicagotribune is wonderful recognition for powerful work. I am also thinking today of Shamaya Coleman, her children and the dozens of others victims in Chicago who died. The city still has not fully addressed the issues raised in our stories.

Gov. JB Pritzker says he updated NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell about potential Bears stadium legislation and maintained the Bears and NFL are only considering a new stadium in Arlington Heights or Indiana — not Chicago. chicagotribune.com/2026/05/20/gov…

A big loss for the Chicago Tribune and for our newsroom. Copy editors get less public recognition than they deserve. They save us reporters and editors all the time. Quietly. And Jeff did it brilliantly as well. chicagotribune.com/2026/04/27/jef…

NEW: I wrote about Gov. JB Pritzker’s ambitious, abundance-coded housing plan. 4 units on basically any standard size Chicago residential lot? ADUs? Looser parking minimums? potentially yes, in our backyard >> chicagotribune.com/2026/04/12/jb-…

New: City Council members are concerned over a pension cost for aides they say is being shifted over to their ward expense accounts. Mayors office says this has been the policy since 2024. Here’s one email Ald. Maria Hadden sent colleagues yesterday. chicagotribune.com/2026/04/09/ald…

Unsurprising fact of the day, from a December email from Gov. JB Pritzker's press shop summing up 2025 (which I received last week in response to a FOIA initially filed Jan. 5):

And just now, new statement from Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office: “Walter Burnett had earned enough support to be confirmed, leading Brewer to call special meeting and begin negotiating a contract agreement with Burnett.”

A group of hopeful Cook County property owners eager to get breaks on their tax bills are likely to end up disappointed. The “vast majority” of about 1,700 certificates of error are missing evidence or valid grounds for relief. By @ad_quig: chicagotribune.com/2026/04/06/ass…

At Raja Krishnamoorthi’s election night party. In case you’re wondering, the senate candidate has spent more than $20 million on succeeding Dick Durbin but the campaign party is cash bar.

New: With a Cook County commissioner/congressional candidate sounding the alarm, a Skokie woman said she was detained for nearly 2 days inside CBP O’Hare & ICE detention. The Tribune has not been able to independently verify that she was ever in custody. chicagotribune.com/2026/03/11/oha…
