Ben and Dr D are back from their world travels, which means they're about to take you--oh, lucky listeners--on a political joy ride you'll never forget. Strap on your seat belts, people--it may get bumpy. Follow us as we head to the 9th congressional district. As Ben learns it's not just Evanston versus Wilmette. Then on to budgetville as Governor Pritzker signs a budget. Visit the land of "anticipated revenue". Make bets on who's getting taxed. Finally, over to Chicago, where a new poll shows good, or at least better, news for Mayor Johnson. And the aldermen debate curfews. And Mayor Rahm feeds a scoop to his favorite reporter. Hint--it's not Ben.
