The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Austin Berg of the Illinois Policy Institute, political pundit Marj Halperin, and longtime Chicago journalist Cate Plys! This week, the Rascals start the podcast discussing the results of the election in Dolton where controversial Mayor Tiffany Henyard lost her reelection bid. Speaking of unpopular, the Rascals discuss Mayor Brandon Johnson’s dismal approval numbers. Eric even wonders if Johnson will run again. Today, a plan to borrow $830 million to finance infrastructure improvements was approved by the Chicago City Council. Austin gets us up to speed on what we need to know. State Senator Linda Holmes wants Illinois to allow medical aid in dying for terminally ill patients. Where are the Rascals on this issue? Governor JB Pritzker made the case in his budget address for banning cell phones in Illinois public schools. Do the Rascals support this idea? Jeff Bezos, the owner of the Washington Post, announced a change to the opinion section. Was this a mistake by Bezos?
