Warning: petitions get circulated starting on Tuesday which means our next episode will officially be during campaign season. But before we officially launch into campaign season, we have a new SFR diving into JB Pritzker’s failures and hypocrisy, as well as solutions that we can rally behind as a party to help Illinoisans.
State Senator Terri Bryant joins us upon returning from Canada where she represented Illinois at the Midwestern Legislative Conference, along with Vice President of IFRW Diane Jordan, Cor’s political experts Michael Butler and Chris Jackowiak, and host Collin Corbett.
More has come out about Pritzker’s and DCFS’s failures leading to the death of Mackenzi Felmlee. We play audio of an interview where JB does what he always does: pass the buck and blame someone else. We discuss how DCFS failed our state’s most vulnerable with a caseworker who should not be supervising children. And we talk about how hard Pritzker and his administration are working to cover this tragedy so it doesn’t derail his presidential ambitions.
We then talk Republican and Democratic politics across the state. We discuss the governor’s race, now that Don Tracy’s name has surfaced as a potential candidate, and what type of ticket we need to win in 2026. And we discuss the latest legislative race developments.
We highlight Pritzker getting called out for his hypocrisy on gerrymandering, and the new bi-partisan fair maps initiative in Illinois. Then we talk energy, as Terri Bryant sheds light on the need for nuclear energy expansion in Illinois, especially now as electricity prices have skyrocketed, which has become the cost-of-living issue for working families.
We close the episode with more quick hits, including Pritzker’s “big” Lion Electric deal which left school districts with school buses with voided warranties, Chicago GDP growth the slowest in the nation, and Illinois property taxes now the highest in the country.
