Thanks to this week's winter storm, highways from Chicago to Carbondale were covered with snow according to IDOT, and driving proved treacherous. Today on the show, we checked in with reporters who have been following the storm, a meteorologist and a climatologist.
Today we brought you special live coverage of Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s combined state of the state and budget address followed by reaction and analysis.
To conclude our preview of Governor JB Pritzker's State of the State and budget address, we were joined by an Illinois Statehouse reporter and the associate director of the Government Finance Research Center at UIC to talk more about what we can expect and to put the governor’s remarks in context.
For another perspective on Gov. JB Pritzker's State of the State, we were joined by the Illinois Senate Minority Leader, a Republican who is critical of Pritzker's policies.
Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch, the Speaker of Illinois House of Representatives, talked with The 21st in the hour before Governor JB Pritzker's 2022 State of the State and budget address. He addressed everything from taxes to fighting crime.
