At $1.5 million per job, the new incentive package from the state is at least 15 times the norm. For this much money, the state could have just handed out a million bucks to 827 people, instead of creating 550 jobs.
Ted joined Jeff Daly to discuss the university student protests erupting across the nation on the Israel/Palestine conflict, why it’s so dangerous for society if the media abandons facts in favor of narratives, why that allows government to spin away the problems like crime and financial crises, why it causes the voting public to become apathetic, and more.
When you hear the complaints from Illinois politicians, remember the hypocrisy: 40,000 bused to Chicago, but 161,562 allowed to fly directly to Florida.
Nearly one year ago, Chicagoans cheered Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s removal from office. In her place was Brandon Johnson, who promised a more inclusive approach to building a “better, stronger, safer Chicago.” It hasn’t turned out that way.

What parent in their right mind would want their young adult “educated” by the leaders of the “schools” that produced this study? It ignores more than half the picture, which is the efficiency, cost and outcomes of these schools / universities. Just garbage propaganda / misinformation.
Nice article find Wirepoints. This is not being talked about anywhere. Perhaps because it is so ridiculous, but more likely so they can get it passed without anyone knowing. Enrolment into Illinois public universities is down for every institution and for every slice of race they want to examine. So, does the college restructure or examine how to adapt to smaller enrolment, how to right size the services to the consumer of their services…nope. Let’s start a blue ribbon commission to form a new way to take more public money. Likely because, as it states in the article, Illinois is… Read more »
