Fitch and Moody’s downgraded Illinois’ credit rating to Baa1 from A3, which is the state’s 13th downgrade since 2009. Scott Martin, president & CEO of Accent Asset Management and Fox News Contributor, explains what that exactly means. Gov. Rauner has been pushing for a property tax freeze, but legislative Democrats are reluctant.

Paul Guppy, vice president of research for the Washington Policy Center, explains what makes the policy work.
