Lights urged for O Hare runways by Elk Grove Village president
Elk Grove Village president Jack Pahl urged FAA to install warning lights on Commonwealth Edison power towers near O Hare Airport. He proposed closing runway 14R 32L until lights are in place after recent near misses caused by a DC3 taking down high line structures. Pahl cited public health risks from power losses and called for immediate approval while noting Edison offered lights which FAA rejected as insufficient safety.

Schaumburg Sewer Controversy Delays Carrot Project
MSD trustees refused to commit to the 1.6 million Wise Road sewer line project or finalize spending priorities for 3.6 million in remaining construction funds.

Mayor Archer argued Harper's line should be sacrificed to save tax money, noting Harper would cost 65,000 for temporary mains versus 400,000 for Schaumburg's.
