Way better than Brokaw w/Ted Turner: Berkowitz w/Cullerton and Lang on the Illinois Channel, Cable and Streaming
****************************
State Rep. Lang (D-Skokie): I think [Rod Blagojevich] has been a terrible Governor and I helped elect him twice…
From Public Affairs, taped on November 16, 2008
************************************************
State Senator [and recently elected Senate President]: John Cullerton (D-Chicago): Jeff, I’m trying to be fair, too. Next January when we come in, in the middle of the fiscal year, and we pass the one percent increase in the income tax that I just talked about--the effective date would be January 1st of 2009—that will bring in more than enough money to balance the budget for this fiscal year [a net increase for the state of about three billion dollars].
Jeff Berkowitz: So this is the plan. Because, people haven’t been talking about, you are making news here--
State Sen. John Cullerton: It’s one of the options.
From Public Affairs, taped on June 8, 2008
***********************
State Rep. Lang: I think it’s possible that people will propose an income tax increase this year [2009].
Jeff Berkowitz: Is that a good idea?
State Rep. Lang: I don’t know that yet because there are things I think we need to consider before we do that. We need to consider every possible source of revenue including gaming…we need to consider every possible avenue for reducing budgetary expenditures-- which would include a proposal I am going to make this year, something called zero based budgeting…
**************************888
State Senator (and recently elected Senate President) John Cullerton(D-Chicago): Well, you know, “choice” is one word-- like the word “change” and--
Jeff Berkowitz: No, no. “Choice” is very defined, unlike the word “change.” “Choice” means you take the money and you go to the school of your choice. Okay? That’s what “choice” means. Tell me how that’s like “change.”
Senator John Cullerton: Because there’s nuances to it. And all I’m saying is, the word “choice,”—I’m trying to give you a political answer, before we talk about public policy—from a Democratic point of view, we’re the dominant party in this state—it means something. Okay? And it’s been politicized. And, it is difficult for a Democrat to vote for something that has that label. Now, at the same time, if we can ease into achieving the same goal of competition by emphasizing things like charter schools-
