Homeowners in a Chicago area district seek to detach from District 227 and join District 233 to keep their children with peers at high school in Flossmoor. The appeal questions petition validity and constitutional rights under the Civil Rights Act. A ruling is awaited as the appellate court addresses constitutional issues and possible remands.

Federal judge delays Wilson case over state efforts
A federal judge declined to assume oversight of disciplinary proceedings against Frankfort cardiologist Dr. Lance Wilson until state court actions are exhausted. Wilson criticized alleged bias in the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation hearings after a 1998 potassium chloride injection led to a patient’s death ruled a homicide by Cook County officials, though no criminal wrongdoing found. The department recommended indefinite license suspension and mandatory exams for reinstatement, with Wilson appealing the decision to the Seventh Circuit. The state process could span months.
