The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, longtime Chicago journalist Cate Plys, Brandon Pope, host of ‘On the Block‘ on WCIU, and political pundit Marj Halperin! The Rascals begin the podcast talking about the Chicago School Board elections. How are the Rascals handling their vote for the school board? Eric bemoans how much money is being spent on these elections. Today, Mayor Brandon Johnson proposed a property tax hike to close the budget gap. The Rascals explain what they think of the proposal. There has been a lot of talk about newspaper endorsements this week. Marj was one of the 250,000 people to cancel their Washington Post subscription. What do the rest of the Rascals make of the Washington Post and L.A. Times not endorsing a presidential candidate this year? President Trump held an inflammatory rally at Madison Square Garden that featured speakers making many racist comments. Do the Rascals think the event will hurt Trump politically? And finally, who do the Rascals think will win the presidential election?
