As Chicago State University moves closer to closing, Gov. Bruce Rauner this week said he's “very upset" about Illinois not having a budget. But didn't he once outline just this sort of plan as a way to advance his agenda of hobbling public employee unions? Meanwhile, several things happening in and around the U.S. Supreme Court are reverberating in Illinois.

Andrew Maloney, Springfield bureau chief for the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, joins the panel to talk about that and more.

Brian Mackey hosts The 21st Show and formerly reported on state government.
