Bishop also shares some highlights from a U.S. House hearing on the effects of anti-law enforcement rhetoric with Illinois taking centerstage throughout the hearing.
Finally, Bishop shares Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s reaction to the USDA looking to start withholding federal taxpayer dollars from states that do not comply with providing more information about Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients. There’s also debate around guaranteed income programs like what Cook County is continuing. Pritzker shares his thoughts, as does potential rival Ted Dabrowski.
