There's a spike in complaints about inadequate heat in Chicago this year

More Chicagoans reported not having adequate heat this January than any other month in the last five years. Almost half of the complaints were made during January’s cold snap when temperatures were below 3 degrees for 3 consecutive days. Chicago Sun-Times Reporter Violet Miller and WBEZ’s Jessica Alvarado Gamez have documented this increase and join us today to discuss who was affected.
