The Illinois Commerce Commission this week approved rate hikes for the state's two major natural gas utilities, but not as much as the companies had asked.

Peter Hancock talks with CNI's Maggie Dougherty and Jerry Nowicki about the week's news.

A partial shutdown of the federal government ended this week when a handful of Democrats, including Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, broke ranks with their caucus and agreed to pass a continuing budget resolution.

Peter Hancock, Ben Szalinski and Hannah Meisel discuss the week's events.

Illinois lawmakers returned to the Statehouse this week amid a partial shutdown of the federal government and continuing protests over President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement policies.

A new study suggests upward mobility is more difficult in Illinois than many would think. Although educational attainment and career choices have the biggest influence over a person's income potential, the economic class into which they are born also plays a role. Students from lower-income households tend to earn less than their wealthier peers, even after earning similar degrees and going into similar fields. Sarah Cashdollar, associate director of the Illinois Workforce and Education Research Collaborative, talks with CNI's Peter Hancock about the report, "Precarious Prospects."

This month marks the 60th anniversary of President Lyndon Johnson signing Medicare and Medicaid into law. At the time, Medicaid was considered to be a minor part of the bill, but it has since ballooned to become a driving force behind the entire American health care system.

Peter Hancock interviews Colleen Grogan, a professor and researcher at the University of Chicago, about the political history of Medicaid.

As the final week of the legislative session approaches, Illinois lawmakers face a daunting task of balancing a budget for the upcoming fiscal year in the face of slow revenue growth and increased demands for state services. The budget picture became even more complicated this week when the U.S. House passed a budget reconciliation bill - what President Trump calls the "big, beautiful bill" - that would slash federal spending for Medicaid and a host of other programs. Peter Hancock, Jerry Nowicki and Ben Szalinski break down the budget picture and look ahead to other issues lawmakers will try to tackle next week.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's visit to Springfield this week put a spotlight on the Trump administration's immigration policy while also sparking protests from immigrant rights advocates. Peter Hancock, Ben Szalinski and Jade Aubrey discuss the event and what may be at stake for Illinois' own policies regarding immigrants.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois announced this week he will not seek reelection in 2026, setting off a chain reaction among politicians who now see an opportunity to move up the ladder. The first major candidate to announce so far is Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton who, on Friday, received the endorsement of Gov. JB Pritzker. CNI's Peter Hancock and Ben Salinski look back on Durbin's career in Congress and discuss the wide field of potential candidates to take his seat.

Illinois lawmakers passed the midpoint of the 2025 session this week, the deadline for most nonbudget bills to pass out of one chamber or the other. Meanwhile, dozens of international students on college campuses learned their student visas were being revoked. Peter Hancock talks with CNI's Molly Parker about the crackdown on international students. And Ben Szalinski talks about major legislation that did, or didn't, make it across the deadline.

As lawmakers near the midpoint of the 2025 session, no legislation has passed either chamber as lawmakers appear stymied by the steady barrage of events coming out of the White House that have a direct bearing on Illinois. Peter Hancock and Ben Szalinski analyze the past week's events.

It used to be said that all politics is local. But today, state parties and partisan-backed organizations are getting more involved in local, and ostensibly nonpartisan, elections. Peter Hancock talks with CNI reporter Ben Szalinski and political scientist John Jackson of SIU Carbondale about this trend.

Four entities that make up the Chicago metro area's mass transit system face a combined $770 million budget shortfall. That means Chicago's transportation problems are now a front-and-center issue for state lawmakers from all parts of Illinois. Peter Hancock talks with CNI reporter Ben Szalinski about what's at stake, how we got here, and some of the proposed solutions.

Gov. JB Pritzker and other Democratic leaders warn of dire consequences if proposed cuts in federal Medicaid funding go through. And a new audit shows the state's Medicaid-like health care program for noncitizens - part of which Pritzker has proposed defunding - has been a lot more expensive than expected. Peter Hancock, Ben Szalinski and Hannah Meisel discuss the week's news.

Gov. JB Pritzker delivered his annual budget address and State of the State speech this week that included a warning about the rise of a neo-fascist movement in America led by President Donald Trump.
