Go here for a list of the topics discussed in the show and for background about Senator Brady.
****************************************
Jeff Berkowitz: …Bill Brady, who it sounds like will be a candidate for Governor in 2010 and you are going to have some opponents?
State Senator Bill Brady (R-Bloomington): Hopefully not.
Jeff Berkowitz: Joe Birkett might be running…
State Senator Bill Brady: Joe Birkett would make a great Attorney General candidate.
Jeff Berkowitz: Dan Rutherford, who ran for Secretary of State…
Senator Bill Brady: I’d like to see Dan on the ticket and I think either Secretary of State, Comptroller or Treasurer would be great—
Jeff Berkowitz: Jim Durkin, State Rep., might be running—
Senator Bill Brady: I don’t know—we’re also going to need a United States Senate candidate.
Jeff Berkowitz: Yeah, Peter Roskam for that? Cong. Peter Roskam?
Senator Bill Brady: Maybe.
Jeff Berkowitz: Cong. Mark Kirk?
Senator Bill Brady: Mark Kirk. Back to education. One of the major points I think—
Jeff Berkowitz: Give me some reform in education…
Senator Bill Brady: We have GOT to expand charter schools. Some of the best indications of success we’ve had, particularly within the Chicago Public School system, is when the Latino community comes in and uses charter schools—
Jeff Berkowitz: Expand charter schools? What about school vouchers-school choice, at least in principle…I know it’s difficult—you’ve said – politically.
Senator Bill Brady: And, you know that I supported vouchers in the Chicago Public School system—
Jeff Berkowitz: And you still would if you could do it?
Senator Bill Brady: Where I think its broken, I would.
Jeff Berkowitz: In the Chicago Public Schools, where we spend $16,000 per kid per year. Did you know that?
Senator Bill Brady: I do.
Jeff Berkowitz: And, what do we get for that?
Senator Bill Brady: The results are abysmal.
Jeff Berkowitz: Do you think somebody could take that that $16,000 per year and give it to a private school and do much better?
Senator Bill Brady: I do.
Jeff Berkowitz: And, you would support that in the Chicago Public Schools?
Senator Bill Brady: As I said, I have. But, I think we’ve got to do it cautiously and we’ve got to realize what we can pass.

Senator Bill Brady: …Emil Jones and Rod Blagojevitch were locked at the hip. Mike Madigan was with him for about five of the six years. And, then he started to see the light but frankly it was too late. Now, you are going to see Senator Cullerton who is clearly aligned with Mike Madigan. Let’s face it. I think he is the Godfather of Mike Madigan’s son, so there’s a—
Jeff Berkowitz: So, do you guys call him Godfather when you want something from Senate President Cullerton (D-Chicago).
Senator Bill Brady (Laughing): No, but clearly I think you are going to see a change in attitude.

On the other hand, as we discussed recently with Bill O’Reilly [Go here to watch], about six and one half years ago, then State Senator Barack Obama told Berkowitz he was focused on electing Rod Blagojevich as Governor of the state of Illinois. As it turns out, not the best Dem to try to elect.
