Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review: 7/17


On this edition of Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review with Joel Weisman, the Cook County sales tax jumps to 10.25 percent, while the budget stalemate drags on in Springfield. Forrest Claypool changes roles, moving from Mayor Rahm Emanuel's chief of staff to CPS CEO. Chicagoans remember the deadly heat wave that gripped the city 20 years ago. And in sports, the Cubs and White Sox return to the field after the All-Star Break.
