O'Hare airport terminal upgrades lag behind other major U.S. hubs, study finds

O'Hare is running out of time to modernize its aging terminals as a new DePaul University study warns that further construction delays could worsen congestion and hurt the airport's global standing . Why it matters: O'Hare is the only airport among the nation's busiest that hasn't completed a major terminal overhaul meeting the study's criteria in decades. O'Hare's last qualifying major terminal project was Terminal 5, which opened in 1993. The latest: The study from DePaul's Chaddick Institute warns that Chicago faces a difficult seven years as it tries to modernize its aging terminals while accommodating growing passenger traffic. Context: O'Hare's modernization program calls for new satellite concourses beginning in 2028 and a new Global Terminal in 2033. But researchers warn that construction, rising costs and continued passenger growth could increase congestion and threaten the timeline. By the numbers: Departing planes at O'Hare spent an average of 28 minutes taxiing before takeoff, while arriving planes took nearly 20 minutes to reach their gates, according to the study. Since 2023, outbound taxi times have increased 26%, while inbound times have jumped 41%. Yes, but: City officials have been touting O'Hare's status as the nation's busiest airport, even as the airport struggles

Analyst: Millionaires tax could hurt state competitiveness amid renewed push

(The Center Square) – As a push for a statewide millionaire tax is being renewed in Chicago ahead of state lawmakers’ fall veto session, one policy analyst says the proposal could impact more than just the state’s wealthiest residents. Earlier this month, more than 80% of voters in the city said they’d support a statewide 3% income tax on individuals who earn more than $1 million a year, which would go toward property tax relief and education funding. On Friday, six Chicago alderman called for a special council meeting to vote on an ordinance that would urge lawmakers to reconsider the tax during their fall veto session, which begins Tuesday. Tax Foundation Vice President of State Tax Policy Katherine Loughead told The Center Square the state’s 38th-place ranking nationally based on tax competitiveness could easily be lower if a millionaires tax were to be imposed. “That would be a pretty big blow to Illinois's index ranking because the flat tax is the one thing that is really helping Illinois stay above the bottom third of states overall,” Loughead said. “I know that folks in Rhode Island, for instance, are concerned.
