| | | | | Good morning, Chicago. Do you have a Real ID? I’ll admit that I still don’t. The editorial board’s piece today made me feel slightly better about my procrastination. The board also writes in support of a bill that would prohibit public high schools in Illinois from starting before 8:45 a.m. High school is demanding and teens need their rest, it writes. In commentary today, don’t miss our regular contributor Willie Wilson calling for all Illinois senior centers and assisted living facilities to have a defibrillator and ensure its staff is trained to perform CPR. Thanks for reading. We will be back tomorrow. — Grace Miserocchi, opinion editor Submit an op-ed | Submit a letter to the editor | Meet the Tribune Editorial Board | Subscribe to this newsletter | | | | A Real ID can be had at the Illinois Secretary of State’s new downtown supercenter.
