Kudos to Gov. J.B. Pritzker for shutting down the city’s bid to build a migrant tent camp on a former industrial site in Brighton Park.
Armed with findings from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the governor rightfully stepped up and halted construction Tuesday, citing “serious environmental concerns” about the location — despite the city’s claims that heavy metals and other potential toxins on the property could be removed or remediated as part of the camp’s construction.
