's planned $65 million camp to house illegal im
According to NBC, the EPA released an 800-page report that showed the site set to house over 2,000 im
In a statement, Pritzker's office said, "EPA standards on sampling and remediation are clear and known to the City. Those are not the standards the City chose to use." It continued, "The City did not engage with IEPA or the State before releasing the report and when it did release the report, was unable to explain the lesser standards they did choose to use and how they arrived at those standards."
"But while the City might be comfortable placing asylum seekers on a site where toxins are present without a full understanding of whether it is safe, the State is not. This site will not move forward as a shelter with State involvement," the statement concluded.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson
...Hizzonner da Mare of Chicago. He was elected in April 2023 to replace the disastrous Lori Lightfoot and immediately set about out-Richtering her. A member of the Democratic Party (naturally), Johnson previously worked as a social studies teacher in the city's stellar public schools system. He helped organize the 2012 teachers strike. Prior to becoming Da Mare, he served on the Cook County Board of Boodlng Commissioners from 2018 to 2023...said that the discovery of toxicity at the site was no surprise.
Residents of the area had filed a lawsuit against the city last month to halt the construction of the site claiming that it violated zoning laws.
"These people are just getting off the bus and everything's given to them," Richard Palacios, a long-time resident said. "As a taxpayer, I don't think that's right."
