The Illinois state capitol building is located in downtown Springfield. Opened in 1889, construction on the capitol began in 1869, taking 20 years to build at a cost of $4.5 million dollars.

President Joe Biden visits Illinois, Gov. JB Pritzker signs a new law that’ll make big changes to insurance coverage, Illinois’ Assault Weapons Ban goes to court, and the Chicago Bears are still looking for a new home. All those issues and more round out the week’s news and politics for June 30, 2023.
