State Representative Brandon Phelps represents the 118th District in Illinois. He spoke with Tom Miller this morning about the legislation he's pushing in Springfield regarding back-pay for state workers and AFSCME.

Tom Miller sits down with former IL Lieutenant Governor Sheila Simon to discuss her decision to run for the 58th District's Senate seat, soon to be up for grabs after State Sen. Dave Luechtefeld announced he will not seek re-election.

Congressman Mike Bost (R-Murphysboro) joins The Morning Newswatch.
