Description:

Comptroller Leslie Munger said she expects Illinois’ unpaid bills to hit $8.5 billion by December, and Mish Shedlock, who runs the blog Mish’s Global Economic Tend Analysis, joins the show to explain why that number got so high. A Daily Herald analysis of 45 townships found administrative costs outpacing actual assistance funding. What does this tell us about the numerous local governments in the state? Chicago passed a 9-percent tax on Internet-streaming services such as Netflix, Spotify and Xbox Live, but is it even legal?
