Midwest Week: More Funding Cuts for Ill. Service Providers

On Midwest Week, human service programs in Illinois try to decide whether they should continue to accept state funding.

Herb Trix's guest is Kiannah Sepeda-Miller, a reporter for the Better Government Association in Chicago. 

You can also hear Midwest Week Fridays on WVIK at 6:20 pm, during All Things Considered.

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
