Mayor Lori Lightfoot's reelection team may have violated Chicago’s ethics ordinance and federal law when her campaign sent emails to CPS staff asking them to encourage students to volunteer with the campaign. Plus, there was a lot of action in Springfield this week as new legislators were inaugurated following an eventful lame duck session that saw the passage of new labor protections and an assault weapons ban. WTTW’s Amanda Vinicky and Illinois Answers Project reporter Alex Nitkin talk about those stories as well as ongoing railroad expansion in Englewood, Lunar New Year events, and bald eagles wintering in Illinois.
