The week in Illinois politics kicked off with billionaire Ken Griffin finally doing what pretty much everyone expected him to do: The Citadel founder cut a gigantic check to GOP gubernatorial candidate Richard Irvin. And the local action only got more interesting from there, with litigation around mask mandates, casino bid news, a first peek at Chicago property tax valuations and more.

Crain’s Juice reporters Greg Hinz and A.D. Quig break it all down with the help of special guest Alisa Kaplan, executive director of Reform for Illinois, which tracks big money in local politics.
