As they did, Pritzker sat for a wide-ranging talk with NPR's Steve Inskeep about the president, immigrants, Chicago's development, and his party's future.

Global News Podcast - Poland says Russian drones shot down over its territory
Warsaw says Polish and NATO pilots scrambled to shoot down Russian drones that violated its airspace during an attack on Ukraine. Russia says it had 'no plans' to hit Polish targets. NATO says the alliance will defend every inch of its territory. Also: Israeli media say top defence officials are increasingly unsure whether the strike on the Qatari capital, Doha, was successful in killing Hamas leaders. We hear from a leading Palestinian politician about where this leaves the Gaza ceasefire proposals. The UN says more children around the world are now obese than underweight; a new documentary, 'Children of the Fire', looks at the issue of children deported to Russia from Ukraine; and a backlash in Australia after videos of an American influencer wrestling crocodiles go viral.

Nevertheless, we sat down with Jennie Slade from the Goochland Economic Development Authority to find out what is proposed.
