A push to change Illinois' flat income tax into a graduated tax died on the vine this week. And Illinois Republicans have some difficult decisions to make now that Donald Trump appears to have won the party's presidential nomination.

Sean Crawford hosts with regular panelists Amanda Vinicky and Brian Mackey, and guest Ivan Moreno of the Associated Press.

Brian Mackey hosts The 21st Show and formerly reported on state government.
Amanda Vinicky moved to Chicago Tonight on WTTW-TV PBS in 2017.
