Extra Extra: Berwyn Bar To Remove Controversial Two-Way Mirror

Remember the Berwyn bar that came under fire last month when a video shot by a female comedian showing a two-way mirror hanging across from a toilet in the women's restroom went viral? Its owner has released a video stating the mirror will soon be removed. He also claims he now understands "where it makes women feel uncomfortable"—after days of mocking the comedian who brought it to his attention in the wake of the video. We agree with the comedian who exposed his creepy behavior, Tamale Rocks, that he should just "cut the drama" and "simply take the mirror down." [Tribune]
Here come the cuts—On Tuesday Gov. Bruce Rauner released a statement criticizing the spending plan approved under House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, calling it "broken" and "phony." [Tribune]
