The Chicago Tribune is suing Mayor Rahm Emanuel over claims he violated open records laws for failing to disclose personal emails and texts used to conduct city business.

The Tribune owns WGN AM&TV. plus the Cubs and Wrigley Field, and another TV station in L.A. There is a lot of "old money" in that group and they don't play nice.

*The WGN call letters stand for "World's Greatest Newspaper" also the most modest.

The Tribune needed cash and sold their best asset the Cubs and Wrigley field

The Ricketts family, tentatively selected as the winning bidder last January, had agreed to pay about $900 million for the team, Wrigley and a 25% stake in Comcast SportsNet Chicago, which broadcasts many Cubs games.

Hillay did it is going to be his excuse

But I don't give a damn because the Tribune gave us Obama suing the leader for Senate Jack Ryan's divorce sealed records.
