This week Bill Cameron talks with former Chicago Mayoral candidate, Chicago Public Schools CEO, and Mayor Daley's Budget Director.  Vallas currently serves as an advisor to the Illinois Policy Institute.  It's been almost a year since Brandon Johnson defeated sitting Mayor, Lori Lightfoot and run-off candidate Vallas to take the 5th floor Mayor's office... Vallas comments on how he feels Johnson is doing in the position.

The reporter round-table with Heather Cherone, Dave Stewart, and Ray Long discuss the reluctancy of Illinois Governor, JB Pritzker to use public financing for building new professional sports stadiums.  If Donald Trump is allowed on the Illinois primary ballot, will there be a strong sign of support from democratic voters for Trump's competitor, Nikki Haley?  

A state judge has pushed the city's appeal of a ruling blocking the "Bring Chicago Home" referendum to a higher court.  The referendum that would change the "real estate transfer tax" on home sales more than a million dollars was deemed vague and unconstitutional a week ago by a Cook County judge and would have created a tiered transfer tax on real estate/property sales in Chicago.
