Last update: 9 hours ago

Workplace & Health Care: Chicago-based homecare provider Help at Home earned multiple Newsweek workplace honors, including top rankings for women, mental well-being, and healthcare—highlighting caregiver support as the driver of better care. State Accessibility: Illinois expanded disability parking placards for caregivers under a new pilot, adding in-person services at more Driver Services locations and allowing meter-exempt placards for eligible guardians and caregivers. Illinois Politics: Gov. JB Pritzker and challenger Darren Bailey sparred at an ag forum over tariffs and farm costs, with Pritzker blaming trade disputes and calling for big oil profit returns. Public Safety Law: Illinois signed measures to boost suicide prevention access, requiring 988 information in more public settings and adding suicide prevention instruction in schools. Chicago Tragedy: Police said two custodians were fatally shot inside Mark Twain Elementary School in Garfield Ridge in what they described as an apparent murder-suicide. Legal Fallout: Cook County identified 11 of 56 people whose remains were found decomposing at South Deering funeral home, as regulators face renewed scrutiny. Sports & Local Culture: Tim Anderson announced his retirement from MLB; and the Carrington “white privilege” controversy around a Sky-Fever foul continues to draw national attention. Central Illinois Transit: Decatur approved FlixBus service starting Wednesday, with daily trips to Chicago and St. Louis.
