State Representative Patrick Windhorst participated in an interview with Tom Miller on the WJPF Radio Morning Newswatch. During the session, Windhorst addressed various pressing issues including problems at the Department of Corrections related to exposures and illnesses. He emphasized the necessity for increased transparency from both the department and the administration. "There must be a better effort by the department and administration to ensure drugs and other banned contraband and substances do not make it into our correctional facilities," he stated.

Windhorst also touched on Illinois’ property tax system, describing it as burdensome and outdated. He pointed out that this system forces people out of their homes, prompting them to relocate to other states.

The conversation further explored efforts to combat large-scale online and retail theft rings. Windhorst highlighted a significant issue: "Sharing information between law enforcement agencies and internet companies is a major problem that we must address to help keep consumer prices down."
