Challenges and Priorities in Illinois Energy Policy

An emergency hearing was called last week after a Woodlawn apartment unit housing Venezuelan migrants was found to be unlivable. Tenants of the building have been locked in a monthslong court battle with the building owner over allegations of pest infestation, plumbing and electrical issues, and undrinkable tap water. Injustice Watch’s Alejandra Cancino and WTTW’s Amanda Vinicky are here to break down the latest details. Plus, we discuss Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson’s back-and-forth on migrant shelters, Illinois falling behind on renewable energy goals, and a cicada emergence 221 years in the making.
