Pritzker, Johnson react to Trump win, Chicago alders push back on property tax | News Recap 11/8/24

Chicago and Illinois politicians and organizers are already doing the research and prep for what a second Trump presidency would mean for residents locally. A double homicide at a beloved Chicago tourist attraction stuns the city, 29 alders band together to push back on the mayor’s proposed property tax, and after 117 years, prohibition is officially over in a small corner of Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood.
Reset digs into the week’s stories with a panel of journalists.
GUESTS: Angela Rozas O’Toole, WBEZ senior editor of government and politics
