Sandwich, IL – The so-called "Congressional Super Committee" has a few weeks before its work begins: it is tasked with the unenviable job of cutting one-and-a-half trillion dollars from the federal budget. No one from Illinois was appointed to the 12-member panel: so WNIJ asked Congressmen from our listening area to weigh in on where they think the deep cuts should begin. For the fourth part of our series, WNIJ's Susan Stephens spoke with 14th district Republican Congressman Randy Hultgren.
