A Deerfield corporate office expansion could bring nearly 1,000 new jobs to Lake County in what could be the biggest office lease deal of the year in the Chicago area. Fortune Brands recently announced it will consolidate its U. S offices into one headquarters, taking over two of three office buildings previously owned by Horizon Therapeutics, then Amgen Inc., at the northwest corner of Lake Cook Road and Interstate 94. While Fortune Brands may not be a name familiar to most, Lake County Partners President Kevin Considine said they own plenty of brands people may be more familiar with, including Master Lock, Moen Faucets and SentrySafe, among others. Considine said the Fortune 500 company has been headquartered in Deerfield for well over a decade with about 130 employees, a number that will increase dramatically in the next few years as it makes its move “literally” down the road from its current location. The move was supported by an Illinois’ Economic Development for a Growing Economy (EDGE) tax credit, a state incentive for companies that create new jobs.

In a major December ruling made public this week, US District Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall settled one of the biggest debates about feared government overreach that has prompted calls to reform Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for more than a decade. Critics' primary concern was whether the FBI needed a warrant to search and query Americans' communications that are often incidentally, inadvertently, or mistakenly seized during investigations of suspected foreign terrorists.

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr has revived three complaints against broadcast stations accused of bias against President Donald Trump.
