Cook County judge says bankruptcy doesn’t mean man gets out of jail without paying divorce lawyers – Cook County Record

Calling it a "Christmas present," a Cook County family court judge said she would allow a River Forest businessman out of jail for the holidays - if he can come up with $300,000 in cash, and agree to be on electronic home monitoring, until he manages to pay $200,000 more to satisfy the judge's prior orders to begin paying off $1.6 million in legal bills racked up by him and his ex-wife during a long, contentious divorce proceeding.

Chicago needs more champions of literacy like Willie Wilson – Wirepoints

It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
