The COVID-19 Memorial Monument and park cost $4.95 million, with more than $4 million from Illinois state funds plus grants. It honors those who died from COVID-19 and frontline/essential workers.

I’ve never met a more capable candidate for elected office than Victor Henderson. A person with the organizational and managerial skills to lead the Board, Henderson’s candidacy brings one quality, besides competency, his opponents lack: Complete Independence! The essence of his bid to lead the Chicago School Board Henderson is untainted by any outside influence which would compel him to bend in any direction other than his determination to guarantee that the district makes school children and their families the number one priority. Chicago needs educational leaders that will work hard to make sure that the city’s children flourish in the classroom and not “fall in line” to the interests of the CTU.

Ground is officially broken at DuSable Park! 🪏 City leaders, community members, and advocates gathered where the Chicago River meets Lake Michigan to kick off construction on a 3.44-acre waterfront transformation decades in the making.

Chicago 2026 scheduled interest ~$1.34B total (GO $293M + STSC $257M + enterprise $789M), or ~$112M monthly avg. Illinois GO interest alone ~$1.29B for FY2026 (~$108M monthly); total with specials higher, around $125M monthly. Chicago long-term debt $29.8B (Dec 2025); total liabilities ~$78.5B incl. pensions. Illinois total liabilities ~$232B (Jun 2025). No clear public cumulative "premium" total over 26 years; bond premiums are issuance accounting items, not ongoing payments.

Nearly four decades. The land was set aside and dedicated as DuSable Park in 1987 by Mayor Harold Washington. Total cost is $15 million ($10 million from Related Midwest and $5 million in Open Space Impact Fees).

Recent Guttmacher data show about 1.13 million clinician-provided abortions in the US in 2025, or roughly 3,100 per day. Annual totals have been near 1.1 million recently. Cumulative estimates since 1973 range from about 63 to 66 million. Under the UN Genocide Convention, genocide requires intent to destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. US abortion numbers do not meet that definition.
