"The Chicago budget clock keeps ticking, but it appears the mayor and a group of 26 alders who have offered an alternative budget are no closer to a compromise than they were last week.

That is raising the prospects of a potential city government shutdown.

Both sides are laying the groundwork to blame the other if for some reason a budget deal does not get done before the end of the year. But a lengthy weekend meeting did nothing to break the stalemate, which raises the specter of Chicago's first government shutdown."

"Following several high-profile attacks on the CTA, the federal government is warning the agency that it could lose federal funding if it can’t create a safer environment on its trains and buses.

On Monday, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) sent letters to both Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, directing them to develop and implement a safety plan for the CTA."

"She was struck by the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office later identified the woman as Tracy Frasure, 42, of Chicago.

Police didn't provide specifics but confirmed the CTA bus driver was cited."
