Measles Outbreak, Rental Assistance Cliff, and Supreme Court on Referendum

There have been 10 confirmed measles cases reported at the Pilsen migrant shelter on Halsted Ave. City and state officials are working to isolate individuals and notify those who have been exposed to the virus. Borderless Magazine’s Katrina Pham and Block Club Chicago’s Jamie Nesbitt Golden join host Jacoby Cochran to break down the latest. Plus, we discuss the Illinois Supreme Court’s decision not to hear a challenge to the Bring Chicago home referendum, a landmark apartment complex in Bronzeville, and the latest grand openings at Shop L1 in Washington Park. Note: At the time this conversation was recorded, there were eight measles cases confirmed at the shelter. Health officials reported two more cases Thursday night.
