Abortion ruling divides Illinois lawmakers and groups
After the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling returning abortion powers to states, Illinois legislators split. Pro choice leaders push for protections and activism while pro life lawmakers pursue anti abortion bills, with hearings planned for the fall and NOW NCJW campaigns outside the Illinois Building in Chicago.

Aid formula reform proposed by Illinois education leaders
Illinois education officials propose a sweeping plan to replace district funding with 131 uniform tax districts and a standard tax rate. The plan would equalize per pupil spending, boost state aid for high poverty and high tax districts, and phase in declines in revenue over years, with local districts retaining bond and capital powers.
