Illinois’ transition to electric vehicles crucial to stopping pollution-related deaths: report – Chicago Sun-Times*

Resolutions from the Illinois General Assembly last year urged Pritzker to sign a pact with 17 other states that would pledge targets for sales of electric zero-emission large vehicles.
