When millions in campaign cash flood lawmakers' pockets, whoās keeping them in check? At Investigate Midwest, Jennifer Bamberg is.
Her latest investigation exposes how Marquis Energy and the corn lobby are shaping Illinoisā carbon capture rules ā putting clean water, safe farmland, and local communities at risk.
This is the kind of deep, fearless reporting that the public depends on. But hereās the hard truth: We canāt do it alone. Right now, less than 5% of our funding comes from members like you.
Weāre on a mission to add 30 new members by the end of March ā and at this halfway mark, we still need 25 more.
If you believe in journalism that holds power to account, become a monthly member today. Your support makes this work possible.
Join us now. Because when big agribusiness writes the rules, someone has to follow the money.
Thank you for standing with us,
Erin Orr, Executive Director
