Forest Preserve scheme blocked by Judge Honore injunction
Temporary injunction issued Tuesday restrains William Busse and county commissioners from forming a forest preserve district or hiring staff. The suit, brought by Adam Koch, accuses the plan of masking a land grab to profit real estate sharks. Critics warn the scheme leverages voters on a little ballot to fund lucrative suburban land deals along the Des Plaines and other sites.

Chicago Aldermen back boulevard link on Twelfth Street plan
Chicago aldermen approve a plan to widen Twelfth Street to 118 feet and create a major boulevard with street car usage from Ogden to Michigan avenues. The measure, backed by the plan commission, faces opposition from Alderman Brennan who says railroads should pay. The council also advances a theater license hike to 2000 dollars and debates park policing costs.
