Aaaaand, it's Done

Illegal camp over, done, closed for good:

• Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration moved to officially scrap Mayor Brandon Johnson’s plan to build a migrant camp on a controversial Southwest Side lot Tuesday, in a scathing rebuke of the city’s evaluation of the land’s potential environmental hazards.

  In a statement, Pritzker’s office said an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency review of the city’s environmental report — which was released late Friday evening — indicates “concerns related to insufficient soil sampling and remediation” at the Brighton Park site selected by Johnson’s team.

  And because the time required for additional testing and remediation would be extensive, the state “will not proceed” with the base camp, Pritzker said.

So who is now holding this exploded bag of shit? Blowie and Porky have been sniping at each other for weeks. Blowie claims they were following state direction, and Porky - by cutting off Blowie's efforts - might have taken the ball out of the City's hands and put it squarely in the "Illinois Problem" column.

Politics is never completely boring.
