Good morning, Chicago.

The Tribune Editorial Board examines another element of the massive transit bill that was rushed through the General Assembly last week — a provision barring cities from imposing parking requirements on new development that is located close to a bus or train stop.

This rule treats a suburb, where most residents drive cars, the same as Chicago and other dense urban communities. And the board asks: “Should state law be trumping local regulations here?”

Illinois legislators also advanced a right-to-die bill in last week’s veto session and the board encourages Gov. JB Pritzker to use his veto in its second piece today. “Compassion should guide end-of-life policy, but compassion also demands caution,” the board writes.

Yesterday, the board expressed concern for what it sees as lowering education standards after the state showed improvement on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness. Today, a school data expert and author, Elaine Allensworth, has a different view in her op-ed, writing that the old standards were some of the highest in the nation and led to many students underestimating their skills and potential when it came to higher education.

Also today, a researcher and a professor write a piece on how AI chatbots like ChatGPT are killing Wikipedia and other websites by removing information from its source. Plus, our foreign affairs columnist Daniel DePetris questions the legality of the Trump administration’s ongoing military campaign in the Caribbean.

Thanks for reading.
