Wide Angle: Lightfoot vs. Pritzker

***We have a new segment, and we need your help! Read after the description for more details.***

Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Gov. JB Pritzker seem to be at odds lately. The two Democrats are going in different directions on reopening bars and restaurants. They’re clashing over education. They couldn’t even decide on a joint press conference location when the vice president was in town this week. Is this all just political theater or are there real tensions here? Jacoby breaks it down with two journalists: one watching Springfield and the other watching City Hall.
