The Mincing Rascals 11.13.24: Trump Cabinet picks, property tax hike proposal, Bears stadium plans

John Williams

The Mincing Rascals this week are Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Austin Berg of the Illinois Policy Institute, and longtime Chicago journalist Cate Plys! This week, our small but mighty Rascals start the podcast discussing last week’s election results and the flurry of nominees to fill President-elect Trump’s Cabinet. What do the Rascals make of these controversial choices? The Rascals now have had a week to dissect the election results. Why did Harris lose? And do the results give Trump a mandate? Switching to local politics, what is the latest on Mayor Johnson’s property tax proposal? And what does the future hold for CPS CEO Pedro Martinez? And finally, what do the Rascals make of the Bears reconsidering the site of the old Michael Reese Hospital for a new stadium?
