The Chicago Police Sergeants' Association rejected Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s proposed four-year union contract yesterday.

The first woman on the Illinois Supreme Court and its first female chief justice, Mary Ann McMorrow, 83, died Saturday after to an undisclosed illness at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

At Wednesday's meeting for the Chicago Firefighters Annuity and Benefits Fund, two of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's motions failed; one on duty disability reform, which collects $27 million a year in taxpayer-funded duty disability pay for firefighters and paramedics, and the other to divest $173,000 in stock with Smith & Wesson, an assault weapons manufacturer.
