“We started with the ideas, you know, does the science and the data allow us to send kids back to school and if so in what manner,” Pritzker said. “That’s why I was so frustrated to see the president just sort of pronounce that ‘well everyone should open their schools.'"

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
Leadership like that which is offered in IL/Chicago isn’t possible without an absolutely compromised/corrupt media apparatus.
Pritzker/Madigan work for the teachers union and the teachers don’t want to go back to work. The do want a paycheck and want to extend the time with paycheck and without work for as long as possible. To be clear: Teachers Unions only care about achieving as much pay for as little work as possible for their union members. They care nothing about education and hide behind children while pick-pocketing their parents. Bust CTU and IFT.
Jay Bob amost always uses these words: we, you know, allows us, well, the data

Let me also refer to his empty “science and data” claims for which he trouts out JB shills at best. Show me independent sources “verifying” his claims and I’ll send 5 opposing ones back for each.
BTW, remember to catch each and every Tyrannical Ruler phrase Jabba utters such as “allow us to send kids back to school”

Trump is dead wrong on this one. There is absolutely no reason to re-open any school in Red controlled cities, counties or states.
Bill, there is no reason to send kids back to school? Really?? You believe all U.S. families are equipped to continue e-learning after the disaster it was last Spring? How about the fact that kids are NOT dying from coronavirus. Here you go. See the flat blue line? Yeah, that’s the 0 – 24 age group, straight from the CDC.

There was literally NO science or data included in the Bailey case to backup their reasoning for the strict lockdown. I read the entire transcript. The judge even called the AG out on that, lol. Now don’t you think if there was any real science or data, they would have included it in their case?
There is no science to back Pritzker up.
He always cites data and science.
He says it is complex but the reason he cites it is complex because he believes that he is above everyone and only he knows what is complex.
This guys is a dimwit because he believes he is going to be president___LOL
