BGA's fight to make Navy Pier records public

CHICAGO (WLS) -- We have a follow-up on our previously-reported FOIA case against Navy Pier.

After facing defeat in the appellate court, this week Navy Pier made a motion to take the case to the Illinois Supreme Court.

Currently, the Court hasn't been accepted yet.
