The Mincing Rascals 8.6.25: Texas redistricting, Chicago pension boost, DuSable Lake Shore Drive future


Listen Later

The Mincing Rascals this week are Jon Hansen of WGN Radio and Block Club Chicago, longtime Chicago journalist Cate Plys, and Austin Berg of the Illinois Policy Institute. Our small, but mighty podcast crew start the episode talking about Texas lawmakers coming to Illinois to avoid voting on a new legislative map that would favor the GOP. Governor Pritzker even went on with Stephen Colbert to talk about the issue! What are the Rascals takeaways? Next, the Rascals talk about Governor Pritzker signing a new bill that will boost the pensions of some Chicago police officers and firefighters. And finally, The Chicago Park District wants to move a portion of DuSable Lake Shore Drive underground. Do the Rascals like this proposal? If money were no object, how would the Rascals see the future of DLSD?
