Take 1 with Bill Cameron (11-10-2024) - Joe Ferguson - Former Chicago Inspector General

This week, Bill is joined by the former Inspector General for the City of Chicago, Joe Ferguson. He's currently the President of the Civic Federation. Ferguson reacts to Donald Trump being elected as President again and how that will effect Chicago and Illinois. He also talks City of Chicago politics, like the Mayor Johnson introducing a massive property tax increase. Is that even necessary? And what impact will the new elected school board have on CPS? The reporter roundtable with Heather Cherone, Dave Stewart, Greg Hinz and Ray Long react to Donald Trump becoming the President-Elect. How did that happen and what did the Harris Campaign do wrong? They also talk about how Trump will effect the City of Chicago. The Chicago City Council had a cold reaction to Brandon Johnson's property tax increase proposal. And Ray Long, who literally wrote the book on Michael Madigan, gives an update on Madigan's trial. Finally, hear from longtime Chicago Lawyer Michael Shakman about why the patronage system is not a good thing. This with the Madigan trial going on and Donald Trump about to be back in office.
