On Midwest Week, the Illinois General Assembly begins working on new maps for Congressional and legislative districts. But it's complicated by delayed reports from the Census Bureau.

Herb Trix's guest is Peter Hancock, Statehouse Reporter for Capitol News Illinois.

You can also hear Midwest Week Fridays on WVIK at 6:20 pm during All Things Considered.
