The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune SentinelBrandon Pope, of WCIU, and longtime Chicago journalist Cate Plys! The Rascals start the podcast talking about the City of Chicago not approving a $1.25 million settlement to the family of Dexter Reed, who was fatally shot by police during a traffic stop. Do the Rascals think the city made the right decision? Teen takeovers are continuing to make news and the Chicago City Council seemingly have reached a compromise over a stricter curfew in the Loop. What do the Rascals think of these takeovers and the impact that lowering the curfew has on crime? Illinois lawmakers are debating a bill that would tighten homeschooling regulations in Illinois. Do the Rascals think the bill is reasonable? And finally, the Rascals talk about Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia being wrongly deported to El Salvador. Is this an attraction or a distraction?
