Public Affairs with Jeff Berkowitz - Senator Bill Brady

Senator Bill Brady on Rezko, Obama, Cross, Watson, McKenna, Proft, Blagojevich, Kjellander, Kass, Cellini, Dillard, Cronin, Millner, George Ryan, Taxes, Fees, Jobs and Mentally Ill Shooters.

State Senator Bill Brady (R-Bloomington), likely candidate for Guv in 2010, generally defends the performance of State GOP Chairman Andy McKenna, Jr., House minority leader Cross and Senate Minority Leader Watson; Is Tony Rezko on Trial, or is it the Illinois Combine that is on trial; Is Dan Proft right when he argues that the Illinois Republican leaders are "selling their souls a little bit at a time." Is the State GOP still recovering from the actions of George Ryan?

Do the Illinois Republicans have a program of tax reform, ethics reform, health care reform and school improvement, as Brady argues? Should Illinois abolish the Health Care Facilities Board? Is Illinois the 47th worst job performing state in the nation? Did Senators Dillard, Millner and Cronin fail to get the Republican memo on "no new taxes." Should Illinois lease its lottery or use the motor fuel tax anticipated revenues to finance a capital budget?

Should Illinois raise its tax on casino receipts to 70%? Should Illinois dedicate a percentage of its natural revenue growth to financing a reduction of real estate property taxes levied by localities, but not have a net increase in taxes? Should Illinois cut its income or general sales tax? Has Illinois or the Federal Government come up with legislation to prevent individuals with certain mental health problems from owning guns?
