On this episode, we sit down with the top Democrat and Republican in the Illinois House to hear their thoughts on the state's budget picture and what they think needs to happen.
Malls were struggling before the pandemic. We hear how some are trying to attract new shoppers and why others say fewer retail spaces may be the answer.
We also track down a statue off the beaten path in northern Illinois.
