JB Pritzker and lawmakers to pass the POWER Act soon, saying the bill has stalled after only subject-matter hearings and warning of “lack of engagement” as more data center projects move forward.

Local Law Enforcement: Robinson is buying and renovating the former MTI building to turn it into a police station, using a $500,000 loan already planned through a police protection tax.
