This week, the Rascals start things off by discussing Chicago’s preparedness for the upcoming Democratic National Convention. Do the Rascals trust that the city and CPD will be ready to handle the DNC? On to the WNBA! Next, the Rascals discuss the Chicago Sky and the controversy surrounding their game against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. What did the Rascals think about the Caitlin Clark-Chennedy Carter incident and the media / online reaction? Cate thinks that Caitlin Clark definitely flopped and needs to toughen up! This week, the Chicago City Council scrutinized Mayor Brandon Johnson’s plan to quickly budget federal COVID-19 relief dollars before the end-of-year deadline. How much do the Rascals care if the city rushes to spend COVID money? What to do the Rascals think of Chicago’s Plow the Sidewalks pilot program? Should the city spend money on plowing sidewalks for its residents? And finally, let’s give the Rascals 1-minute each to talk about former president Donald Trump being found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records. Talk to you next week from Winter’s Jazz Club!
