The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Neil Steinberg of the Chicago Sun-Times, Austin Berg of the Illinois Policy Institute, and Cate Plys, former staff writer at the Chicago Reader and political op-ed columnist at the Sun-Times and Tribune. This week, the Rascals discuss the state of Illinois halting the construction of a migrant shelter in Brighton Park. How has the Brandon Johnson administration handled the crisis? What could the administration done differently? Austin is having a hard time keeping track of all the mistakes being made by the Johnson administration. The corruption trial of former Alderman Ed Burke continues.
