U.S. Congressman Pete Visclosky (D-1) came on the program today to bring us up-to-date on issues on Capitol Hill, including his views about the Trump administration's tax reform plan, as well as steel imports coming into the U.S. and his work on the Congressional Steel Caucus -- and the unanimous vote in the House on his bill making the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore into an official National Park. The measure is now headed to the U.S. Senate.
