Description
This week, Gov. JB Pritzker paused and then officially shut down construction of a tent camp for new arrivals in Brighton Park citing environmental concerns. City Hall must now propose a new location to house thousands of migrants. Both offices blamed the other with the Johnson administration blaming unclear state environmental standards and Pritzker’s office arguing city officials failed to engage the state’s environmental protection agency. South Side Weekly’s Chima "Naira" Ikoro and the Tribune's Jake Sheridan are here to talk about the fallout. Plus, we discuss Mayor Brandon Johnson’s plan to reopen two city-run mental health clinics and preview next week’s pilgrimage to the Our Lady of Guadalupe shrine in Des Plaines.
We’ve also got great weekend events for you including: SSW Community Hoops, Love & Nappyness Concert, and Pocket Con
