Episode CTC-16, Interview with Jeanne Ives, politician and political activist

Jeanne Ives was an Illinois Representative, and candidate for Illinois Governor. She currently serves as a political activist, running an organization called Breakthrough Ideas. She sits down with CTC to discuss Illinois politics and her many years serving the Illinois public. Jeanne shares her unique perspective on JB's budget mismanagement and Springfield's lack of transparency, on Illinois' sanctuary state fiasco, and the billions of tax dollars wasted, including the 2.1B$ bailout of Exelon. She even explains how the teacher's pension fund went from a well-run and solvent program to the broken and insolvent mess it is today. She also explains why she started her non-profit Breakthrough Ideas and how it became a resource for the public, looking for information to understand and dive deeper into the underlying grit of Illinois mismanaged public funds, including the fraud, instigated by our current Illinois government.
