Jeanne Ives on Illinois' Government Mismanagement

Former IL State Rep. Jeanne Ives joined the Prairie State Wire Podcast to discuss;

• Why Illinois is a bad example of how state government should be run
• What the chief challenges are facing Illinois voters (pensions, taxes, corruption)
• What people can do to take action in electing better officials

Ives served three terms in the Illinois House of Representatives for the 42nd district from 2013 to 2019.
