## Resource

On this edition of the Center Square Radio Hour, The U.S. Supreme Court struck down Louisiana’s congressional map Wednesday, ruling that the state relied too heavily on race when it created a second majority-Black district. Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown defended his staff's discussions with lawmakers over the millionaire's tax, saying it was appropriate to give legal advice and disagreeing with critics of the email interactions. Critics on both sides of the aisle in Illinois government are calling for changes to the SAFE-T Act after a man was charged with killing a Chicago Police Officer and critically wounding his partner Saturday. And the housing market might be returning to the pre-pandemic normal.
