• Lake Bluff Village Board approves procedures for responding to federal immigration enforcement activities (chicagotribune.com) — Lake Bluff’s Village Board has approved new rules limiting how local officials and police may cooperate with federal civil immigration enforcement, while affirming compliance with criminal warrants. The ordinance clarifies what village staff can and cannot do, restricts use of village resources for civil immigration actions, and offers downloadable signage for property owners, drawing both praise and criticism from residents. 
• Lake Bluff estate sells for $11.25M after 7 years for sale (chicagobusiness.com) — A lakefront estate on Crab Tree Lane in Lake Bluff just sold for $11.25 million, the village’s highest home sale since 2007. The 26-acre property includes 690 feet of Lake Michigan shoreline, a vineyard, stable, tennis court, pool, and a 10,000-square-foot mansion, and caps a record-setting year for ultra-luxury home sales across the Chicago area.
• Jack Franks' Marengo firm part of multimillion-dollar PCB settlement against Monsanto (shawlocal.com) — Lake Bluff is one of several Lake Michigan towns sharing in a $120 million PCB contamination settlement that local officials pursued separately from a national class action. The funds, allocated with the state and other cities, are intended to help cover costly stormwater cleanup tied to long-banned industrial chemicals.
