Several key measures passed the Illinois General Assembly in the final hours of the fall legislative session. Bills that focus on transit, energy, immigration enforcement and medical aid-in-dying all won approval.

Our panel discusses what lawmakers were able to accomplish and recaps the murder trial of a former Sangamon County deputy who shot and killed Springfield-area resident Sonya Massey last year.

Host Sean Crawford is joined by Professor Emeritus Charlie Wheeler, Capitol News Illinois' Andrew Adams and Illinois Public Radio's Mawa Iqbal.
