The Mincing Rascals this week are Jon Hansen of WGN Radio and Block Club Chicago, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Cate Plys, former staff writer at the Chicago Reader and political op-ed columnist at the Sun-Times and Tribune, and political pundit Marj Halperin. This week, the Rascals talk about the 1-year anniversary of the inauguration of Mayor Brandon Johnson. What letter grade would each of the Rascals give Mayor Johnson on his first year? And what do you think we’ll be talking about the most during the mayor’s next term? The DNC? CTU-CPS negotiations? Migrants? Crime? Today was a CPS ‘day of action’ as some teachers went down to Springfield to lobby for more school funding. Do the Rascals think this was a good idea? The Museum Of Science And Industry is being renamed the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, thanks to a $125 million donation from Florida billionaire Ken Griffin. Do the Rascals care about the museum being renamed? Will the Rascals be using the new name? And finally, Donald Trump and President Biden agreed to two debates that will take place in June and September. Who will the debates benefit most? And should RFK, Jr. be allowed to debate?
