The Democratic-controlled Senate defeated a bill to raise the debt limit by a vote of 59 to 41 that had passed the Republican-controlled House of Representatives earlier today. At least one gunman killed a man and seriously wounded a woman in the Chatham neighborhood this afternoon, then exchanged fire with officers before fleeing, officials said. Mayor Rahm Emanuel today said next year's city budget hole is nearly $636 million and he won't use one-time fixes or reserves to fix it. Emanuel said he won't raise taxes on Chicagoans who feel "nickeled and dimed" until the city's financial structure gets reformed. |
