CHICAGO, IL — This week, Governor JB Pritzker urged legislators to pass stringent data center regulations that place the burden of cost and environmental protection on tech companies. He also announced key investments in tourism and the state’s film production tax credit program to boost the state’s economy. Christian Mitchell went to Bloomington to call out MAGA extremists for taking food away from families in need. Meanwhile, Darren Bailey’s appearance at a community event in East Dundee was met with scorn, and event organizers are being asked to answer for his inappropriate, right-wing rhetoric.
