The dust is clearing in Springfield after state lawmakers wrapped up a busy fall veto session at around 4:30 this morning.
Democrats threw a financial lifeline to the Chicago-area’s mass transit system that raised tolls and sales taxes.
They pushed back against the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement actions.
And they moved to allow physicians to prescribe life-ending drugs to terminally ill patients.
Here to help us break it all down is WBEZ’s Alex Degman.
