This week, Bill is joined by the President and CEO of the Better Government Association (BGA), David Greising. There's been a lot of drama at City Hall and Greising says Mayor Brandon Johnson is not handling it well at all. Also, what are the chances Mike Madigan is found innocent?

And un update on the Mike Madigan trial from the man who wrote the book on Madigan, Ray Long.
