*************************************************************************
This week's Chicago Metro suburban show featuring State Rep. Beth Coulson interviewed on September 14, 2000 by Jeff Berkowitz and the seven Republican Primary Gov candidates (as of Jan. 13, 2010) questioned by Jeff Berkowitz, Joe Ryan [Daily Herald], Jim Anderson [Illinois Radio Network] and others can now be watched in individual segments by going to the Public Affairs YouTube page and scrolling to and clicking on the politician of your choice. Please note that clicking the picture of Coulson labelled Beth Coulson, IL 10th CD Cand. (R) will pull up the three and a half minute clip of Coulson and that clicking the picture of Coulson labelled Coulson, 10th CD Cand.(R) and 7 IL Gov will pull up the entire thirty minute Public Affairs show, airing this week in the suburbs.
***********************************************************
State Rep. Beth Coulson (R-Glenview), now an IL 10th CD Candidate in the Republican Primary, declines to endorse, on Public Affairs, in a show taped on September 14, 2000, George Bush for President and Mark Kirk for Congress. Mark Kirk, at that time, had won a ten candidate March, 2000 Republican Primary and was involved in a close general election with then State Rep. Lauren Beth Gash (D-Highland Park) to replace then Cong. John Porter (R-Wilmette), who had decided not to seek re-election after holding the seat for 21 years. Cong. Porter's endorsement of Mark Kirk was thought to be a significant factor in Kirk's primary win in 2000. Cong. Kirk is now seeking the Republican nomination for the U. S. Senate in Illinois that was previously held by President Obama.
As noted by the host, Jeff Berkowitz, in an introduction taped on Jan. 17, 2010, Republican Beth Coulson followed her non-endorsements in 2000 with similar statements on Public Affairs on August 22, 2002, in which she declined to endorse in the general election then Republican candidates for Governor, Jim Ryan, and for Attorney General, Joe Birkett. In what may be considered an odd twist, Cong. Porter has recently endorsed Beth Coulson in her bid for the 10th CD seat. Of course, Coulson is now touting the significance of the Porter endorsement, even though in 2002 she argued her voters were sophisticated and knowledgeable and didn't really need her advice on who to support for President and for 10th Cong. District Congressman in the general election.
State Rep. Coulson also discusses, in 2000, her "Pro-choice," views on abortion, parental notice and "Republicanism."
Andy McKenna, IL Gov. Candidate in the Republican Primary, discusses issues regarding alleged illegal campaign contributions received by his campaign; and his views on tax increases, school choice, charter schools, the size of the state budget deficit and dealing with the state budget deficit.
Dan Proft, IL Gov. Candidate in the Republican Primary, discusses issues regarding alleged illegal campaign contributions received by McKenna's campaign, the IL GOP "getting its brains beat out by voters," Proft's assessment of McKenna and Proft's proposed income tax cuts.
Sen. Bill Brady, IL Gov. Candidate in the Republican Primary, discusses issues regarding his views on school choice-school vouchers, tax credits for a parent's school tuition costs and dealing with the state budget deficit.
DuPage County Board Chairman Bob Schillerstrom, who withdrew on Jan. 22, 2010 as an IL Gov. Candidate in the Republican Primary, discusses zero based budgeting, his willingness to sign the Americans for Tax Reform pledge not to support net increases in taxes and dealing with the state budget deficit.
Former two term Attorney General Jim Ryan, IL Gov. Candidate in the Republican Primary, discusses his 2007 statement to Jeff Berkowitz that he favored increasing Illinois taxes by more than five billion dollars; his current position that he would not increase taxes in Illinois; whether he is willing to pledge not to increase taxes for four years and the impact of the state of the economy on his views about increasing taxes. Ryan also discusses his historical relationship with Stu Levine, who was convicted of public corruption; his views about people trying to "smear him," why Sen. Bill Brady wanted Ryan's endorsement in 2006 for Governor and whether or not "Ryan brought Levine to then Gov. Jim Edgar," and "would it matter if Ryan had."
State Sen Kirk Dillard, IL Gov. Candidate in the Republican Primary, discusses issues regarding his proposal for meaningful tax credits for a parent's school tuition costs, his opposition to tax increases and why he thinks he would be the best Republican to take on the Democratic candidate for Governor in the general election.
Adam Andrzejewski, IL Gov. Candidate in the Republican Primary, discusses issues regarding his views on how to deal with the State's budget deficit without raising taxes and in particular how he would cut state spending in the range of ten billion dollars.
All of the above discussions by the seven candidates for Governor in the IL Republican Primary consist of video clips from press availabilities on January 13, 2010 that took place in the ABC-7 Chicago studio after a debate sponsored by ABC-7 Chicago, the League of Women Voters of Illinois and the Better Government Association.
