DeKalb, IL – The group known as the Congressional Super-committee has a huge task ahead of it: coming up with one-and-a-half trillion dollars in savings over the next decade. The 12-member committee doesn't include anyone from Illinois so WNIJ news asked several Congressmen from our listening area for their input. Susan Stephens spoke with 8th district Republican Representative Joe Walsh, starting with his take on the debt ceiling controversy.
