IL State Senator Sue Rezin on Fair Maps, Nuclear Energy, and Pritzker’s Spending Priorities

Bill Bernardoni continues his conversation with Illinois State Senator Sue Rezin returns to tackle some of the state’s most pressing issues. From former Obama chief Bill Daley and former Congressman Ray LaHood’s new proposal for a constitutional amendment on redistricting, to the uphill fight for independent fair maps in Illinois, Senator Rezin breaks down whether this latest effort is genuine reform—or just more political theater. The conversation then shifts to what could surface in the upcoming Illinois veto session: lifting the moratorium on nuclear energy, a potential bailout for Chicago’s CTA transit system, and looming tax-and-fee proposals. Finally, Bill and Senator Rezin examine Governor J.B. Pritzker’s decision to sign legislation making undocumented residents eligible for state-funded college aid—costing taxpayers over $1.3 billion in recent years. Is it a bold progressive move, or proof the governor is more focused on national ambitions than Illinois families?Learn more about Bill by visiting Bernardoni.media and Bernardoni.blog.
