Mayor Brandon Johnson’s bid to reset his agenda for the new year was eclipsed Tuesday by a remarkably direct attack from Gov. JB Pritzker, following the governor’s rare defeat in Springfield concerning hemp regulations the mayor opposed.

Sales of the weedlike substances have increased, in part thanks to a loophole in federal law, prompting smoke shops that sell unregulated products to minors to pop up.

Governor JB Pritzker expressed frustration with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for last-minute opposition to a hemp regulation bill. Pritzker claims communication with the mayor has been sparse despite open lines.
