“Unachievable.”That's what fiscal watchdog group The Civic Federation calls Gov. Bruce Rauner's proposed 2016 fiscal budget in a new report released today. And the report comes a day after Rauner gave an unprecedented speech to the Chicago City Council, saying city officials shouldn't expect a bail out from the state. Tonight we talk with a panel of experts about what this means for the city and the state. Joining us areLaurence Msall, president of The Civic Federation; Anders Lindall, spokesman for AFSCME Council 31; Ted Dabrowski, vice president of policy for the Illinois Policy Institute; and Michael Belsky, professor at the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy.
