Massive SNAP Cuts, Firefighters Push Back, and the Return of Lightning Bugs
About this episode
How will the federal spending bill impact SNAP recipients in Illinois? Why are some Chicago firefighters resisting a new policy change about when individuals can enter a burning building? Why are legislators tackling who can and can’t wear a mask in public? Have you noticed more lightning bugs this summer? We are answering all of these questions and more with the Chicago Reader’s Micco Caporale and Block Club Chicago’s Mack Liederman.
