One of our guests, David Morrison, is deputy director of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform.
Our other guest is very familiar to ABC7 viewers. Andy Shaw, the Better Government Association's president and chief executive officer, was ABC7's longtime political reporter, and is a former host of NewsViews.
