Property tax kerfuffle, Madigan’s ‘magic list’ and a celebrity look-alike | WBEZ’s Weekly News Recap

This week, there was a plot twist in the years-long Jussie Smollett case, we saw the reveal of a “magic list” from former Illinois House speaker Mike Madigan, and there’s a Chicago toddler who nearly won a Jeremy Allen White look-alike contest. Reset breaks down those stories and more in our Weekly News Recap. GUESTS: Brandon Pope, CW-26 reporter/anchor Heather Cherone, WTTW Chicago politics reporter Patrick Smith, WBEZ criminal justice reporter Jon Seidel, Chicago Sun-Times federal courts reporter ------ WBEZ’s Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons is your forum for the Chicago conversation. We bring context to the latest local news with journalists, experts and newsmakers. And we cover a wide variety of beats from State and City Politics to Arts and Culture to the Environment. Every Tuesday, we talk Health and Wellness. Every Thursday, it’s Food and Music. We’re on the latest news stories throughout the week and on Fridays in our Weekly News Recap.
