Increasing number of people hospitalized due to poisoning from Delta-8 weed
Buying Delta-8 weed at a gas station or head shop is akin to buying drugs off the street—consumers have no way of knowing exactly what's in it. Like marijuana, Delta-8 gets users high. Unlike marijuana, it exists thanks to a loophole in federal law and is sold without any kind of testing or regulation. One Illinois resident said she wishes she knew that before she bought it. Delta-8 not only altered her consciousness, it changed her life.

Cook County property taxes: Who's to blame for skyrocketing bills?
Homeowners in Chicago's south suburbs are feeling the pinch of significant property tax increases, and Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi says part of the problem stems from tax breaks given to businesses.
In an in-depth conversation with FOX 32, Kaegi discussed the issues that homeowners are facing with their taxes, including the story of Darryl Lloyd, whose property was assessed at over $1 million, resulting in a tax bill increase of over 3,800 percent. Kaegi described Lloyd's situation as an isolated incident but acknowledged that many residents are struggling with high tax bills they cannot afford.
