Under the Dome Podcast with the State Journal-Register´s Doug Finke and Bernard Schoenburg

On this week’s episode of the Under the Dome Podcast the State Journal-Register’s Bernard Schoenburg and Doug Finke work remotely to bring you the latest updates from the Illinois Statehouse and Illinois' response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This week they discuss the announcement by Rep. Emanuel “Chris" Welch, D-Hillside, delaying the hearings into House Speaker Michael Madigan until after the November election to prevent the committee from being used “as a stage for political theater.” They dive into the continuing battle for the graduated income tax amendment including this week's canceled press conference by State Treasurer Michael Frerichs to "address misinformation" about taxing retirement income.
