Illinois lawmakers are returning to Springfield. Recently released US Census data means they must go back to the drawing board on new legislative maps. They could also take up a sweeping clean-energy proposal aimed at fighting climate change. We previewed the special session with a roundtable of reporters from the Chicago Sun-Times, Illinois Public Radio stations, and Inside Climate News.

With the recent release of U.S. census data, Illinois lawmakers will again meet to consider changes to the legislative maps Gov. Pritzker signed into law earlier this year.https://t.co/M2Yziyon5a
