The Mincing Rascals 9.4.24: Concealed carry decision, CTU contract, presidential polls

The Mincing Rascals

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, and political pundit Marj Halperin! This week, the Rascals talk about a federal judge in Rockford ruling that Illinois’ concealed carry law can’t prohibit holders from having guns on public transportation. What do the Rascals think of this decision? CPS and CTU are continuing negotiations over a new contract. Austin gets us up to speed on the latest news. Meanwhile, the city of Chicago is facing nearly a billion dollar deficit in 2025. Where is all the money going to come from? CTU president Stacy Davis Gates recently accused Austin of stalking and the Rascals come to Austin’s defense. A WBEZ analysis found more than 30 websites of Local Government Information Services exposed the home addresses for more than 6 million Illinois voters including dozens of state and federal judges. Does the public have a right to know where voters live? And finally, we are less than a week away from the first debate between VP Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump. The Rascals break down the latest polls.
