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.

Imagine Illinois voters finally getting off their duffs to vote against the political machine on things like this?
It ain’t gonna happen…
““It’s sickening”: IL residents struggle to budget amid high gas prices” “Remain calm, all is well.” – that’s what we hear from Governor Tax Cheat, time and again. Our state budget is better. Really. The governor says so. Crime’s not really a problem, “We’re going to form a(nother) committee, and look into what police officers are still doing wrong. That’ll fix it” Public education is really taking care of future generations. “I’m proud to say that Illinois has more school districts than almost any other two states combined, and that we’re going to have who-goes-to-which-potty-rules for every one of them.… Read more »
This disaster is the result of progressives and an incapacitated President. If you want to change the trajectory of this country’s jet sled to hell, vote against the likes of Casten and Underwood. Both are awful, and committed to high gasoline costs.

This also includes voting for fake Republicans!
You make a terrible mistake when you ascribe incompetence to that which is clearly intent.
These are not policy makers making mistakes. These are political ideologues making political decisions.

“The Biden administration is considering a proposal to tax oil and gas windfall profits to provide a gas subsidy for American consumers struggling with high energy prices”. Add to that our state legislature postponing the $.02/gal increase … we’re in high cotton!
Who will pay more in to the fuel companies…consumers.
This will do what to gas prices…upward pressure. That’s increases for you libs out there.
Democrats simply do not understand how markets work, except when grifting.
Don’t blame Xiden. It’s Pooohtin’s fault!
So interesting that one man, one country’s misadventures could wreak such havoc on the U.S. economy.
Oh well. What can be done besides wage a proxy war against Pooohtin and send tens of billions of taxpayer dollars to God knows where to be spent God knows how?
