INDIVISIBLE CHICAGO PODCAST SHOW NOTES FOR MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2020

1. With incredible ratings in one demographic, you might be able to stay on TV, but you can't remain president. This is the lesson the current President is having trouble learning.

2. The ComEd scandal that has gotten everyone's attention over the last few months is really a story of two scandals -- one is a bribery scandal that seems to be closing in around Speaker of the House Madigan. But what of the legislation that was at the heart of the bribery scandal in the first place -- one that promises to deliver services to consumers but failed to do so. Joining the podcast this week, Abe Scarr, director of Illinois PIRG. In Springfield he leads the charge for stronger consumer protections, utility accountability, and good government. In 2017, Abe led a coalition to pass legislation to implement automatic voter registration in Illinois.  Just this week, PIRG released a report, *Guaranteed Profits, Broken Promises*, which  details how ComEd has managed to stay profitable while failing its customers.
