Richard Pearson, Executive Director of the Illinois State Rifle Association, joins The Morning Newswatch.

Brent Gentry is a commissioner for Williamson County. He joined Tom Miller in the studio to discuss the lawsuit filed this past December against the state of Illinois by Williamson County for salary reimbursements, and whether that money has been coming in.

Tom Miller sits down with Steven Bost, Jackson County Board member, and member of Friends of Murphysboro, the group organizing the Big Muddy Brew Festival.
