Dems meddle in Illinois GOP gov primary – Politico

The Democratic Governors Association is pouring $728,000 into a statewide advertising blitz focused on the Illinois Republican race for governor. The first ad ran early this morning. It’s a 30-second spot that targets Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin’s career as a defense attorney (after he was a prosecutor) and questions his decision to represent "violent criminals" accused of domestic abuse, child pornography and sexual assault in the past. The goal is to rev up Republicans to vote for Darren Bailey, or maybe any of the other GOP candidates, over Irvin. There’s nothing Republicans hate more than a candidate who’s not tough enough on crime, or conservative enough on social issues — at least that’s what the DGA and Gov. JB Pritzker’s campaign are hoping.

The Irvin ads are very good, as one would expect backed by Mr Griffin.

Ballot box fraud is the only way Freddie Pritzker wins.

He says “all lives matter”. People have gotten killed for saying that.

There was a similar post about Irwin polling well and the Pigsters crowd starting to worry. Crank up the attack ads and call in all favors from the sheeple in the media.

Assuming a legitimate election, JB has to survive a red tsunami.

The crime-enabling, cop hating, filthy toilet rat democrat governors — including fat-ass Illinois Governor Bitch-Tits — are the ones who have created America’s crime crisis — Irvin can turn that commercial right around on JB The Hutt

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.
