This week on Chicago Tonight: The Week In Review with Elizabeth Brackett, Soul Train icon and Chicago native, Don Cornelius, dies at age 75. Gov. Pat Quinn’s State of the State address calls for a hiring veterans tax credit and more education funding; but where the funding will come from remains a question. Mayor Rahm Emanuel looks to a new website and outside auditors to help transform the TIF program. The free ride for Lollapalooza comes to an end, as the Grant Park music festival now must ask the Cook County Board for a tax break. And in sports, Phil Emery takes the reins as Bears General Manager.
