Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott later said at a news conference that the proposal would include a practice facility. When asked if the practice facility would eliminate the need for Halas Hall, the Bears headquarters and practice facilities in Lake Forest, McDermott said, “That’s absolutely correct.” “They are talking about Halas Hall, everything,” McDermott said. “That’s breaking … Oh no, the lawyer is coming.” The lawyer stood up and said the news conference would end after one more question.

Political leaders across Illinois mourn the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s death: ‘A giant of the Civil Rights Movement’ Political leaders across Illinois mourned Rev. Jesse Jackson’s death and nodded to the decades-long movement he championed after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his mentor.

"Identify the problem, protest, change the policy."

Asked about the void Jesse Jackson's passing will leave, Ald. William Hall, 6th Ward, said he bequeaths a generation of leaders a simple blueprint.

Rev. Jesse Jackson: Minister, civil rights advocate, politician, intermediary and social justice proponent Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., the civil rights leader and founder of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, has spent the last 60 years of his life in front of cameras advocating for social justice.

"His legacy is a profound leadership that aided in moving America forward and aided in addressing the question of racism and discrimination."

As the world mourns his passing, here's a look at Jesse Jackson's remarkable life.

andrew was my 1st tribune sports intern back in 2021 (aka really normal times for us all).

he's a super talented writer, a great teammate and one of the nicest humans ever!

sports coverage is not about box scores anymore. it's about power and politics and corruption and sovereign wealth and real estate and the use of taxpayer money and the most publicized labor disputes in the country and yes, sometimes about ball go in hoop
