Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
It’s about time the media focus on the fact that progressives have to cover-up their recklessness in areas where they don’t dominate. Mostly due to their high numbers in Chicago and Cook County, progressives can say or do whatever they want in Illinois. Problems don’t get resolved in Illinois because of this; nothing improves.
Great interview.
I think we are still a long way from Illinois residents recognizing the financial issues of the state. In a conversation with someone I recently met at a neighbors party, the person said that he was looking to move out of Illinois because the taxes were so high. I mentioned the issue of outsized public sector pensions as a major reason for the high taxes. His response was that public employees deserve those pensions; it is the only place where someone can get a nice pension.
He didnt see (or chose to ignore) the connection.
This was excellent, very informative. Ted, why not run for governor? No need to pay me.
Ted for Governor – Connie Par for Lt. Governor!
He can’t beat Bailey
