Excerpts from nbcchicago.com:

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot says the proposed police and fire training facility that is opposed by activists is likely to cost more than previously estimated. She says as it’s currently designed, the projected $95 million facility is unlikely to meet the needs of first responders the police department and fire department, particularly firefighters. She doesn’t know what the ultimate costs will be, but she wants it to be the best-in-class training facility for first responders anywhere in the country.

Opponents contend the proposed facility is a waste of money that should go toward education, job training, and mental health services.

Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:

Chicago firefighters who helped deliver a baby outside a station in the city’s River West neighborhood Tuesday morning got to meet the mother and baby they helped.

Vanessa Villa went into labor outside Engine 14 in the 1100-block of West Chicago Avenue around 8:50 a.m. Shew was being driven to the hospital by a friend who pulled over at the fire house as the mother’s contractions were only about a minute apart.

Friday night they all formally met for the first time. Firefighters gave the baby, named Julian Lopezi, a new onesie, and gave Villa’s other child a shirt.
