Madigan’s Split Verdict, Heartland Shuttering Clinics, and Cowboy Carter Tickets

Earlier this week, former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, once the most influential politician in the state, was found guilty of bribery, conspiracy, and other corruption charges following a four-month trial and two weeks of deliberation. We’ve got WCIU TV host Brandon Pope and Block Club Chicago’s Jamie Nesbit Golden reacting to this historic conviction, including the juror's split verdict. Plus, the city prepares to lose community clinics in Uptown and Englewood, Beyonce adds a third Chicago tour date, and we’re loving one North Lawndale neighbor’s ice cream dreams.
