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, political pundit Marj Halperin and longtime Chicago journalist Cate Plys! This week, the Rascals start the podcast discussing the ongoing rift between CPS and the CTU. Why does Mayor Johnson want CPS CEO Pedro Martinez to resign? Why is Martinez refusing to resign? Is Martinez doing a good job? The Rascals break it all down. Both O’Hare and Midway airports rank near the bottom in a new survey of travelers. What do the Rascals think of our airports? Austin says don’t sleep on the Rick Bayless restaurant at O’Hare while Cate highlights the charms of Midway. The White Sox continue their march to becoming the worst team in MLB history. And Eric has been at the forefront of following the journey towards record breaking futility. And what’s the latest on the possibility of a new stadium for the Sox? And finally, Marj wrote an Op-ed in the Sun-Times about the lies Donald Trump and JD Vance continue to spread about Haitian immigrants. Eric cannot understand why anyone could support the current GOP ticket.
