Each Friday, we end the week with a statewide news roundup. We checked in with reporters WNIJ reporter Peter Medlin in DeKalb and Will Bauer of St. Louis Public Radio, who covers the Metro East region of Illinois. We talked about efforts to address early childhood education and environmental racism. Plus, why US Steel rejected an offer from its rival Cleveland-Cliffs for buy out and the uncertain future of a nursing home in DeKalb.
