“For the People” Puts Spotlight on
Primary Candidate Positions |
|
Where do the candidates in the Illinois presidential primary stand on
major issues such as taxation, health care, energy or the role of the
United States in the world? Will the candidates’ positions or plans
really work? How might the candidates’ proposals affect us here in
Illinois?
WILL-TV and the University of Illinois Institute of Government and
Public Affairs (IGPA) examine these questions in a series of
programs at 7:30 p.m. Thursday nights in the four weeks preceding the
Feb. 5 Illinois primary. Four 30-minute programs, For the People:
Primary Focus, dissect the candidates’ proposals with analysis from IGPA policy experts and others. WILL’s John Paul moderates the
discussions.
