Illinois Policy’s Austin Berg On Capital Plans and Corruption

State Senator Martin Sandoval, the 4th political ally of House Speaker Mike Madigan, has become the latest target in an ongoing federal investigation.

Illinois Policy's content director Austin Berg joined the WROK Morning Show to explain how Sandoval was able to use this power to pass a $45 billion capital bill driven by politics, not potholes.
