The Illinois state capitol building is located in downtown Springfield. Opened in 1889, construction on the capitol began in 1869, taking 20 years to build at a cost of $4.5 million dollars.

Host Jennifer Fuller talks with John O’Connor of the Associated Press and Jeremy Gorner of the Chicago Tribune about the latest news coming out of the Illinois statehouse. We recap the second and final debate between Democrat JB Pritzker and Republican Darren Bailey, as the candidates sharpen their messaging in the weeks before the General Election. Plus, we discuss how money and politics are always a top issue for Illinois voters.
