    Illinois politicians don't make enough - Patrick Pfingsten

    In this episode I chat with Patrick Pfingsten, publisher of The Illinoize. We talk about the country's infatuation with national politics, why our state politicians probably need a raise, and shoe shining.

    Patrick was a longtime voice on WDWS radio who transitioned to political consulting. His free newsletter offers a deep dive into Illinois politics.
