Ted was on The Chicago Way with John Kass and Jeff Carlin to discuss the proposed $5 billion lakefront stadium project proposed by the Chicago Bears & Mayor Brandon Johnson, why Chicago is struggling compared to other metro areas across the country, why the city might or might not go the way of Detroit, and more.
Some Illinois lawmakers continue to deny that covid aid and other federal stimulus bailed the state out of its fiscal mess. But a look at past and projected revenues from COGFA shows just how much the bailouts blew out the state’s revenues. And now that they’re over, how much harder it will be for Illinois revenues to grow.
Election integrity – both real and perceived – is essential to government’s legitimacy and stability. Illinois, like the rest of the nation, better fix its problems now.
Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about Chicago’s latest bond offering, why Chicago’s dismal home value growth is due to poor policies, the next $70 million to be spent on migrants, the 9% salary hikes demanded by the CTU, and why Illinois lawmakers voting to stop Chicago’s selective enrollment schools from being closed is hypocritical.

Arcady, another communist tyrant. Tell them all to get bent
Suck it Arwady. This unenforceable and illegal travel ban and the equally silly quarantine have no basis on science. I will be traveling when and where I please.
I travel every week, but I’m “essential”. Also ORD is semi-normal – every week people are going all over the place – and outside the country. I say DO IT! Get back to normal! These psychos can’t stop you. I’d like to see them try.
I have ignored the travel ban and lock down since March. I’ll be flying to a banned state tomorrow and returning next week and will not quarantine. The following week I’ll be traveling to two other banned states and upon return will not quarantine.
Yet every day you see people driving alone in their cars wearing masks. Obviously a notable percentage of people are either fools or cowards or gullibly believe whatever the government tells them. Or all three.
