Episode 36: The Illinois Primary

March 13, 2016

Dan Proft and John Tillman preview Tuesday’s Illinois primary by talking to Phillip Bump from the Washington Post on the Republican delegate math. They also break down some of the biggest state rep races in advance of a high stakes Election Day.
The Chicago Tribune’s Diane Rado joins the show too to discuss potential changes to the state’s education funding formula and the politics of education spending.
Also, Dan and John analyze the results of a new survey showing a majority of Illinois union employees in favor of right-to-work laws. What could this mean for worker freedom in Illinois?
