Politics News Roundup - November 10, 2023

The Illinois House has approved development of new nuclear reactors in the state. It reverses a 1987 nuclear moratorium as a means of helping Illinois meet its goal of carbon-free energy by 2045. It is set to go to Gov. J.B. Pritzker for his signature. The House and Senate concluded their fall veto session Thursday. They did not take action on extending the Invest in Kids private-school scholarship plan that expires Dec. 31 nor on a proposal by the House speaker to allow legislative staff to unionize. - Associated Press
