AOK Campground Near Chicago Area Moves Toward Rezoning

The A-OK Campground on 19996 S. LaGrange Rd in Mokena faces rezoning to retail use after land ownership changed several years ago. The Plan Commission recommended approval despite no public opposition, with officials predicting the site will close to campers within about two years as a national retailer eyed the 10 acre site. Nearby campgrounds fear further erosion as development encroaches on rural spaces south and west of Chicago.

Critics say state school aid still falls short

A Metropolitan Planning Council study finds Illinois to reach a nine year high in state share of public school funding at 37.6 percent for the year starting July 1, though advocates say the level remains too low and inequities persist. Local funding rises 5 percent amid caps on property taxes.
