<h3>Good afternoon, Chicago. ✶</h3><p>It's Election Day! And Lollapalooza lineup reveal day. And March Madness takes over on Thursday. So it's a busy week. </p><p>In today’s newsletter, we're following along with our live updates on the Illinois primary election here in Chicago. Early voting and mail ballot numbers suggest significantly lower turnout than the past two presidential primaries. Polls close at 7 p.m. </p><p>Plus we've got reporting on the anticipated Lollapalooza lineup, Arlington Heights' new tax deal proposal for the Bears' suburban property, and more. 👇</p><p>⏱️: A 7-minute read</p><p>— Katelyn Haas, audience engagement specialist (<a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-i-ejdfty-l-r/" target="_blank" >@khaas96</a>)</p><hr><p></p><h4>TODAY’S TOP STORY</h4><h3><a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-i-ejdfty-l-t/" target="_blank" >Illinois Primary Election 2024: Live updates and results</a></h3><h5>Reporting by WBEZ and Chicago Sun-Times staff</h5><p><b>'Shockingly low turnout' so far</b>: While polls in Chicago will remain open until 7 p.m., turnout for the 2024 primary elections appears to be "shockingly low," a city election official said in a midday update.</p><p>“I sure wish I had some better news looking at the numbers, but we are looking at a shockingly low turnout,” Max Bever, director of public information for the Chicago Board of Elections, told reporters.</p><p>As of noon, turnout at the polls was around 12% and about 9,000 to 10,000 votes were coming in each hour. By comparison, during the last two presidential primaries in 2016 and 2020, 16,000 to 28,000 ballots were cast per hour.</p><p><b>Bring Chicago Home brings out voters</b>: West Town resident Helda Diaz has been telling everyone she knows to vote yes on <a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-i-ejdfty-l-i/" target="_blank" >Bring Chicago Home</a>. It was one of the main reasons why she came out to vote Tuesday morning at Talcott Fine Arts and Museum Academy. “If you can afford a million dollar home, you can manage a one-time tax,” Diaz said. “You should also be doing your part to help the less fortunate.”</p><p><b>Alleged foul play with doughnuts and cash</b>: U.S. Rep. Jesús “Chuy” Garcia‘s campaign claimed Tuesday that Ald. Raymond Lopez's team members were spotted giving away doughnuts and "envelopes of cash" to election judges in the alderman's own ward.</p><p>Lopez, who is also the Democratic committee person for the 15th Ward, said his team did provide the election judges with doughnuts, coffee and $50 for lunch. But he added that providing for the poll workers and judges is nothing out of the ordinary, and Rep. Garcia’s team has a “lack of respect for election judges.”</p><p>Bever, the elections board spokesperson, said that bringing food and lunch to election judges is “a longstanding tradition.”</p><p>“The board unfortunately is not budgeted to provide lunch or even coffee to election judges," Bever said.</p><p>Get more election updates <a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-i-ejdfty-l-d/" target="_blank" >here</a>.</p><hr><p></p><h4>WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?</h4><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

In fact, his stunning collection of pensive indie folk compositions harkens to the gilded Laurel Canyon tribe and the 1960s British folk explosion, with one of his biggest influences being Bert Jansch.</p><p>On his first headline tour (arriving at Thalia Hall on March 21), Rowland says he’s seeing the shift each night as he talks to fans at his shows.</p><p>“Around the time the album came out, a lot of people just kind of leaned into Harry Styles questions, and I think now meeting these people face to face, day in and day out, that doesn’t come up as much. Instead, it’s people confessing [my] music has helped them in a tough time. I’m making real connections,” he says during a recent Zoom chat from his Brooklyn hotel room.</p><p><a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-i-ejdfty-l-v/" target="_blank" ><b>READ MORE</b></a></p><hr><p></p><h4>YOUR DAILY QUESTION ☕️</h4><p><b>Did you vote early, in-person today, or not at all?

<h3>Good afternoon, Chicago. ✶</h3><p>Earlier this month, Billy “Bo” Deal graduated from Northeastern Illinois University with a degree in urban community studies. </p><p>Deal had already turned his life around after two prison stints, beginning a career in anti-violence outreach. Now, with a degree from NEIU, he’s ready to take the next step.</p><p>Below, we have more on Deal’s journey.</p><p>Plus — the community news you need to know this afternoon.</p><p>⏱️: <i>A 7-minute read</i></p><p>— Katelyn Haas, audience engagement specialist (<a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-l-vhhjttd-l-y/" target="_blank" >@khaas96</a>)</p><hr><p></p><h4>TODAY’S TOP STORY</h4><h3>Bo Deal learned all he could from life in the streets. Then he got a college degree.</h3><h5>Reporting by Andy Grimm</h5><p><b>The path to graduation</b>: When he started out as an anti-violence outreach worker, the most important items on Billy “Bo” Deal’s resume were his former position as a high-level gang member and his two trips to prison. As a bonus, he was also a rap battle champion who appeared on tracks with the likes of G Herbo and the late FBG Duck. But earlier this month, Deal added another accomplishment to his resume: a bachelor’s degree from Northeastern Illinois University.</p><p><b>Breaking the ‘glass ceiling’</b>: When Deal, 49, started his courses four years ago, he realized a college degree was crucial to building a curriculum vitae that would allow him to lead the kinds of outreach programs that have employed him for more than a decade. “Without that degree, you hit that glass ceiling,” Deal said. “I want to be at the table where people are making decisions about what is needed in our communities.”</p><p><b>Part of a larger program</b>:<b> </b>Metropolitan Peace Initiatives, the Chicago-based nonprofit organization where Deal works as senior manager of field services, has been formalizing training for outreach workers and steering its workers into degree programs since its founding in 2017. Deal is the first to complete a degree with MPI’s help.</p><p>“As the outreach workers were promoted into leadership roles and we were seeing what they are capable of, we realized we had something very special in our capacity-building through our program,” said Vanessa Perry DeReef, chief training officer for MPI. “Unless they want to retire as 65-year-old outreach workers, and I’m sure some do, they will have to enhance their skills.”</p><p><a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-l-vhhjttd-l-i/" target="_blank" ><b>READ MORE</b></a></p><hr><p></p><h4>WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?</h4><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

</div><p></p><h3>Once studying to become a forensic pathologist, Everett Reynolds pivoted hard — into the art world</h3><p>Everett Reynolds aspired to be a forensic pathologist — a doctor who studies the causes of death. While in college, he was a chemistry major headed in that direction.</p><p>But he’s since veered about as far from that path as you can: He’s become an artist creating big, colorful and dynamic murals in Chicago and the suburbs.</p><p><a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-l-vhhjttd-l-jl/" target="_blank" >Reynolds</a>, who will be 29 in January, can appreciate the irony of such a dramatic life shift. </p><p>“For sure, and it started from me creating life and becoming a dad and all of that, so it’s really cool,” he says.</p><p>Born in Belize in Central America, he moved to the Chicago area at 12 and was raised in Lake County, including Waukegan and Zion. Art was really a late-in-life endeavor, he says.</p><p>“I was a pre-med student, and art wasn’t necessarily my main goal. I’m not going to lie,” Reynolds says.</p><p>But then, “a lot of things” started happening in 2015, including his partner becoming pregnant.</p><p>“I was becoming a dad. I was still in school. I had to figure out what I really wanted to do.”</p><p>Now living on Chicago’s North Side, Reynolds says, “I feel everyone has that point; it’s like a whirlwind. And from there, you really pick a destination and life really changes.”</p><p>As things felt a little “out of control,” he took up painting. Art is no longer simply an outlet for Reynolds, who says it’s about “me communicating” and “creating relationships” and “a legacy for me and my family.”</p><p>“The reason I still do it is I still have that drive; it’s just not going away. I love learning. There’s always a challenge you have to figure out.”</p><p><a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-l-vhhjttd-l-jr/" target="_blank" ><b>READ MORE</b></a></p><hr><p></p><h4>YOUR DAILY QUESTION ☕️</h4><p><b>What was the best thing to happen to you in 2023?</b></p><p><a class="Link" href="mailto:newsletters@suntimes.com" target="_blank" >Email us</a><i> (please include your first and last name and where you live). <b>To see the answers to this question, check our Morning Edition newsletter</b>.

<h3>Good afternoon, Chicago. ✶</h3><p>In today’s newsletter, we look at thousands of scofflaws who have dodged city debts over the years, depriving City Hall of massive sums of money at a time when the city could badly use it.</p><p>Below, we’ll catch you up on how the city is looking to collect on the debt as Mayor Brandon Johnson faces steep budget challenges.👇</p><p>Plus, we’ve got the community news you need to know. </p><p>⏱️: <i>A 7-minute read</i></p><p>— Katelyn Haas, audience engagement specialist (<a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-i-vdrjyjl-l-y/" target="_blank" >@khaas96</a>)</p><hr><p></p><h4>TODAY’S TOP STORY</h4><h3>Chicago City Hall is owed billions of dollars in uncollected debt</h3><h5>Reporting by: Mitchell Armentrout and Tim Novak</h5><p><b>Mountain of debt</b>: The city of Chicago is owed more than $6.4 billion in unpaid fees, fines and other debts that have piled up since 1990, according to a Sun-Times analysis. The delinquent payments include $2.9 billion in outstanding administrative hearing debt, more than $2.3 billion in old driving tickets, and roughly $723 million in unpaid water bills.</p><p><b>No big windfall is coming</b>: Mayor Brandon Johnson’s city comptroller acknowledges that most of that money is unlikely to ever be collected. But with budget troubles expected to get worse, officials agree more should be done to boost the city’s collections. “If city operations are running so ineffectively as to leave enormous amounts of money on the table, then the city’s failing to meet its basic obligations ... in the service of Chicagoans,” said the city’s Inspector General Deborah Witzburg.</p><p><b>Tracking debtors down</b>: The main recovery targets are “relatively recent scofflaws who owe the city a lot of money and have the means but are skirting responsibility,” city Comptroller Chasse Rehwinkel says. Such debtors — who likely number in the hundreds — are “mostly not from Chicago” and own properties that have racked up debt while the owners have taken advantage of legal mechanisms and loopholes “to skirt responsibility,” according to Rehwinkel, who won’t name names with city lawsuits pending. </p><p><a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-i-vdrjyjl-l-i/" target="_blank" ><b>READ MORE</b></a></p><hr><p></p><h4>WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?</h4><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

</div><p></p><h3>In Lake View man’s tattoos, a nostalgic cast of characters</h3><h5>Reporting by Katie Anthony</h5><p>From a vintage library robot to characters straight out of a Shel Silverstein book, Nick Yokanovich’s thigh tattoos spark a sense of nostalgia with a black-and-white comic book style.</p><p>“I loved reading comic books and cartoons as a kid,” says Yokanovich, 26, of Lake View. “I thought it was such a cool way to read. It felt almost like cheating.”</p><p>One of the tattoos comes from a book almost every elementary school kid has flipped through: Chicago-born Silverstein’s “Where the Sidewalk Ends.”</p><p>Yokanovich, who’s now a writer for a technology company, was teaching Silverstein to high school students at ChiArts when he decided to get the tattoo.</p><p>“Reading those poems as an adult, one of them will be about forgetting to wear pants, and the next page will be about the absence of absolutes in human behavior or something like that,” Yokanovich says. “To see that kind of sincerity that is both fun and demonstrative of the complexities of human experience is really cool.”</p><p><a class="Link" href="https://newsletters.suntimes.com/t/t-i-vdrjyjl-l-ji/" target="_blank" ><b>READ MORE</b></a></p><hr><p></p><h4>YOUR DAILY QUESTION ☕️</h4><p><b>It’s the first day of December.

<p>Days after hundreds showed up to an “unofficial” version of the popular Friday Morning Swim Club at Montrose Harbor, organizers announced Tuesday there will be no more official dips this summer season.</p><p>“We will not host any additional swims this summer due to last Friday’s events and the complex communication that is happening between the Chicago Park District and the city,” organizers said in a video posted Tuesday on the club’s <a class="Link" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CwiYj8Sq2FL/" target="_blank" >Instagram</a> account.</p><p>The group will instead host other free events throughout the rest of the season, which they said would be announced later.</p><p>“What happened last Friday isn’t what we envisioned for swim club, ever,” organizer Andrew Glatt said in the video.</p><p><a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/8/25/23845616/friday-morning-swim-club-canceled-police-monitor" target="_blank" >Police were called</a> Friday to the 4400 block of North DuSable Lake Shore Drive and found the group was “gathered peacefully,” but officers remained to monitor.</p><p>Glatt said he and co-founder Nicole Novotny were told there were “multiple park district employees, CPD officers seeking out people specifically with swim club gear threatening to arrest them, or myself and Nicole had we been there.”</p><p>The Chicago Park District didn’t respond to questions about officers’ handling of the Aug. 25 event. The Chicago Police Department didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.</p><p>A park district spokesperson said Tuesday that a permit application still hadn’t been submitted for the event, “nor has any intention to do so been made clear by the organizers.”</p><p>“The Park District works with promoters to try to issue permits that meet the goals of the promoters but that do not pose a threat to the safety of event participants and allow an appropriate and responsible use of public property,” the park district said in a statement. “The first step in initiating the permit process is to submit an application.”</p><p>Park district officials previously said they approached organizers of the swim club about getting the event permitted in July <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/8/19/23837782/friday-morning-swim-club-chicago-park-district-permit" target="_blank" >but never heard back from them</a>. </p><p>Novotny previously said organizers looked into getting a permit but didn’t apply for one because the harbor where the club takes place isn’t listed in the permit application.</p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center>

<p>Sierra Lewis, 25, said she had been to the morning event about 10 times. When she showed up to the unofficial Aug. 25 swim, she said the mood was “eerie.”</p><p>She spotted a security vehicle as she made her way over to the harbor, where police officers were stationed. When she and her friends eventually jumped in, she said they only stayed in the water for about five minutes. </p><p>“We just weren’t feeling like it was a good place to be; it felt kind of like something might happen, and of course, nothing did, luckily,” Lewis said. “It was just very different, a lot more feeling like you have eyes on you, and you’re doing something wrong.”</p><p>Lewis said she and her friends jumped a bit farther north from where the main group was gathered Friday, and officers didn’t approach her. </p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center>

<p>Friday Morning Swim Club started in 2021 as eight friends meeting up at Montrose Harbor every Friday morning to swim and catch up before the weekend. That summer, the club grew to around 700 people through word of mouth.</p><p>During the 2023 season, the club attracted over 3,000 swimmers each Friday, thanks in part to viral videos of the meet-up on social media. Mayor Brandon Johnson and the city’s tourism agency shouted out the club in now-deleted posts. </p><p>Lifeguards and water safety experts have <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/8/17/23836288/friday-morning-swim-club-montrose-harbor-chicago-safety-concerns" target="_blank" >expressed concerns about the club</a>, which meets in an area that isn’t monitored by lifeguards and relies on unapproved floatation devices that have been banned by the park district. </p><p>Lewis said she hopes the club can return next season with more of an emphasis on safety. </p><p>“I think the community the organizers created is really beautiful, and I would love to see that continued in some way, shape or form,” Lewis said. <br></p>

<p><a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/lollapalooza" target="_blank" >Lollapalooza</a> is back — but you don’t have to brave the crowds downtown to catch some of the sets.</p><p>Hulu will <a class="Link" href="https://www.hulu.com/lollapalooza" target="_blank" >stream</a> the Chicago music festival to all its subscribers from Thursday through Sunday beginning at 1 p.m. CT each afternoon across two channels.

<p>What’s the catch? You have to watch it live.

Headliners this year include Billie Eilish, Karol G, Kendrick Lamar, The 1975, Tomorrow X Together, Odesza, Pusha T, Lana Del Rey and Red Hot Chili Peppers.</p><p>Hulu will regularly update <a class="Link" href="https://www.hulu.com/lollapalooza" target="_blank" >its main Lollapalooza page</a> throughout the weekend with the streaming times based on each time zone, so keep an eye out for any changes or updates. </p><div class="RichTextSidebarModule Enhancement" data-module data-align-center><a class="AnchorLink" id="module-800000" name="module-800000"></a>
