Episode 24: Right to work in Illinois

December 20, 2015

Fox Chicago Political Editor Mike Flannery, Dan Proft and Ted Dabrowski get in a heated debate over what to do with the Chicago Teacher’s Union. Lincolnshire becomes the first municipality in Illinois to become a right-to-work zone, but already faces a legal challenge. A group of Republican legislative candidates are calling for Rahm Emanuel to resign, and one of them, Mel Thillens, joins the show to explain why. Mike Madigan wants the state income tax rate to climb back to 5 percent, but the stats show that Illinoisans are taxed enough already.
Hosts: Dan Proft & Ted Dabrowski
Guests: Jacob Huebert, Mike Flannery, Mel Thillens
