Wirepoints President Ted Dabrowski joined Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson on Chicago’s Morning Answer. They went over the infrastructure bill and how Illinois is a government centric state.
Wirepoints recent pieces:
- Gov. Pritzker can’t take credit for Illinois’ improved budget projections when it’s the feds that bailed the state out
- Former Head of CPS Paul Vallas on Illinois’ Path to School Choice – Wirepoints Podcast
- Chicagoans struggling with high water bills jacked up by special pension tax
- Illinois’ manufacturing industry, down 325,000 jobs since 2000, needs more than just platitudes and subsidies for favored industries
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
Audio and summary 
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Ted, don’t you think a platform similar to Gingrich’s Contract For America is necessary for Illinois?
You’ve pounded Pritzker, Lightfoot, all the Democrats for a long time now. You’re preaching to the choir at this point.
A winning Republican candidate needs a concise agenda day to run on. Seven or eight bullet points with details for those who want them easily accessible.
Illinois is ripe for regime change with practical reforms a that people can understand. It’s clear that status quo isn’t working.
id lay off the culture war and stick to economics
“It’s clear that status quo isn’t working.” The status quo is working just fine. It’s not working for you because you’re not a Democrat….Economics are great right, there’s all this money floating around, bankruptcies are at lowest levels seen in decades, housing prices have had their first major jump since the great recession, and there’s tens of thousands of open jobs everywhere in the state. The culture war IS the only issue that seems to be winnable for Republicans in blue states. Just beg for a return to normalcy, where babies weren’t aborted in the 9th month, and gender bending… Read more »
So you have to lie? Why not put forth ideas, an economic agenda for the state going forward? You know as well as I do there is t a chance in hell of the state meeting all of its financial obligations. Also, the property taxes sting working people. Dan Proft can afford it and he cries like a stuck pig. Think of all the working folks who are paying double what they pay in Indiana only to pay pensions for politicians and state workers. Why insult the intelligence of voters with that culture war bull? Democrats love poor people so… Read more »
https://sports.yahoo.com/opinion-one-lesson-virginia-culture-043552524.html Opinion | One Lesson of Virginia? The Culture War Still Works. In the Virginia governor’s race, pundits have been calling Tuesday night’s Republican win — depending who you listen to — a referendum on President Joe Biden, a verdict on the Democrats’ performance in Congress or the result of a smart Republican strategy for handling former President Donald Trump. But it’s just as reasonable to credit what’s been happening right in the middle of Virginia. The state has been stirred by a wave of local unrest, with protests at school board after school board, a very local version of… Read more »
Agree with your point. I believe no one is served by expending effort to replace one incestuous corrupt predatory regime with another. Policy points, ones which must be adhered to, are the only hope for economic justice. Otherwise bad guys win the battles (collection of graft while their policies destroy Illinois property values) and the war when the busted-out real estate of all Illinoisgoes for deep discount in tge end stage of Illinois crash (political class insider access to leveraged loans and setting policies to impede competitive bidding) . What policies? They must be unambiguous and simple to enforce. A… Read more »
