Sister Simone Campbell: Economy 'Not Playing By The Rules'

Flickr user tvnewsbadge

Attorney, author and justice advocate Sister Simone Campbell is best know for leading Nuns on the Bus tours across America to draw attention to the concerns of low income workers, immigrants and people with disabilities. She's known to many in McLean County too, having given the 2013 Jim and Gwen Pruyne Lecture at New Covenant Community Church in Normal. WGLT's Judith Valente recently caught up with Campbell at Penn State University, where both were guest speakers. In a wide-ranging conversation, Campbell talks about hearing Pope Francis in Washington, presidential politics, and the many positive developments she sees traveling across the country.
