Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.
The rally should be a bout the elimination of Thornton Township, not taking it back. Taxpayers in most states are not taxed to support township government because they do not have them. Also, Illinois has 17 counties that do not have township government to support. Township government was established in the 1800s for farmers. This was years before city / village governments. Thornton Township now has17 municipal governments! How many farms are in Thornton Township???
