Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.

Chicago jeers?
Not according to Neil Steinberg/Sun Times columnist.
Those two woke fools Durbin and Duckworth are part of the problem.
Coincidentally, Duckworth will now start to live very close to the BA HQ.
Tammy & Dick.
Political hacks.
Please pay property taxes Duckie.
I guess Boeing isn’t all that into equity and abortion. Weird.
Durbin’s embarrassment is well worth it.
Do nothing Durbin and Dimwit Duckworth can’t figure out why Boeing would leave. It’s funny, because everyone else in the state knows why. Get ready for more you two losers. Your social justice warrior agenda and insatiable appetite to tax businesses and residents will drive many more out of this state.
Poor old Tammy and Dick crying for the headlines. Who want’s to bet their sour grapes are more about losing the standard campaign contributions rather than the state losing the jobs?
Well you haven’t been too successful have you Tammie? In every study Illinois ranks 2nd or 3rd worst in business climate. Downtown crime out of control. Highest or second highest property taxes in the US for Boeing employees. Public schools for employees’ children a national joke. Second highest sales taxes in the US downtown for Boeing shoppers and workers. Geez1! I wonder why they would move.
BA employees do not have to worry about marxism, CRT, and genderism being pushed on their school kids in Va. Taxes are lower also. Premptive also – IL Leftist Democrats will push for higher Corp taxes after Pritzker re-election.
