A Lemont resident, Senator Christine Radogno (R) has served in the Illinois Senate since 1997. She became the first woman in state history to head one of the General Assembly's four legislative leadership posts when she was unanimously elected by her GOP Senate colleagues in 2008. WSIU-TV producer Jak Tichenor, host of public television's Illinois Lawmakers series, hosts the interview, which will center on the state's crippling budget crisis, campaign finance reform, and the GOP's strategy for 2010. Radogno was on the SIU Carbondale campus on November 18 at the invitation of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute.
