It was another hot and humid week in Chicago. With dangerous heat<\/a> engulfing the city, residents again turned to box fans and air conditioning units for relief from the soaring temps \u2014 that is, despite recent spikes in electric costs<\/a>. The heat subsided only to welcome thunderstorms that knocked out power for\u00a050,000 ComEd customers.<\/a><\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t all doom and gloom this week. After years of construction, four North Side Red Line stations reopened Sunday,<\/a> and in some good news for homeowners, Mayor Brandon Johnson said he won\u2019t seek a property tax hike<\/a> in his upcoming budget proposal.<\/p>\n

Gov. JB Pritzker, along with 17 other Democratic governors, petitioned the Donald Trump administration<\/a> to release nearly $7 billion in withheld federal education grants. On Friday, the Department of Education did just that.<\/a> But local education leaders are still struggling with their own funding problems. At Thursday\u2019s Chicago Board of Education meeting,<\/a> Chief Budget Officer Michael Sitkowski reiterated that Chicago Public Schools has identified $165 million in spending reductions, including cuts to its administrative staff and vendor contracts, but the district is still searching for a solution to its $734 million budget deficit.<\/p>\n

Two of the four defendants in the \u201cComEd Four\u201d case were sentenced this week. Ex-ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore<\/a> and the utility\u2019s former lobbyist\u00a0Michael McClain<\/a> will spend two years in prison for their part in the elaborate scheme to bribe then-House Speaker Michael Madigan.<\/p>\n

New Tribune reporting shows arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are up in Chicago<\/a> since Trump took office, and local children recently received deportation letters<\/a> from the Department of Homeland Security. Meanwhile, on Friday, a federal judge in Chicago blocked the Trump administration\u2019s challenge over sanctuary policies<\/a> in the state of Illinois.<\/p>\n

In global news, the United States cut short ceasefire talks<\/a> between Israel and Hamas on Thursday, while hunger and malnutrition surge in Gaza.<\/a> France also announced this week that the country will recognize Palestine<\/a> as a state.<\/p>\n

Three big names in the world of celebrity and entertainment passed away this week. Malcolm-Jamal Warner<\/a>, the 54-year-old actor best known for his role as teenage son Theo Huxtable on \u201cThe Cosby Show,\u201d died in an accidental drowning Sunday in Costa Rica.\u00a0Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>, lead singer of Black Sabbath and godfather of heavy metal, died at the age of 76, just weeks after his farewell show. And professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan<\/a>\u00a0died\u00a0Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest. He was 71.<\/p>\n

Plus, the Chicago Cubs and White Sox play each other in this weekend\u2019s City Series at Rate Field<\/a>. It\u2019s a matchup with stakes for both teams, as the Sox come off their best road trip since September 2022 and the Cubs just dropped from first place<\/a> in their division.<\/p>\n
