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.

Do NOT believe this.
FAKE.
Political propaganda to disillusion possible voters for Mr Irvin.
The Establishment must be scared, really scared.
They know Mr Irvin will beat Freddie Pritzker.
And he will.
It doesn’t matter who wins the Republican nomination. VOTE RED THIS TIME. EVEN RINOS are further to the right than the nation’s most progressive fatso.
Your last ranked IL candidate is still 1000x better than Fatty mcfatso.
IL GOT RID OF CASH BAIL FOR VIOLENT OFFENDERS.
IL KEPT MASKS ON LITTLE CHILDREN.
IL CLOSED DOWN LONGER THAN ANYONE ELSE.
The optics will be better nationally if a Dem sits in the gov chair as the state collapses.
Good thinking. Illinois will collapse any moment so you better vote for a dem for governor. Got to own the libs.
That’s the ‘we must destroy the state to save it’ analogy. I don’t buy it. I believe in incremental change. It’s taken us 40 years to Dem rule to get to this point and its going to take a generation to bring us back if that’s even possible.
As someone no longer in Illinois, my goal is for Illinois to serve as a shining example of liberal/Dem policies. Hopefully, it will influence independent voters nationwide, especially when other blue states also approach collapse. Yes, it sucks for those still in Illinois, but the sooner the collapse comes the better for the nation.
Thank goodness you can’t vote here because I don’t want “Illinois to serve as a shining example of liberal/Dem policies.”
LOL I can appreciate that thought.
That’s the problem. Your largest supporters are morons. Good luck Trumpsters.
This must make JB happy. Baily actually winning in the general election??? Now that’s funny. 4 more years of dems
This too is true.
Irvin is spineless and refused to stand up against the leftist woke mob and sacrificed his downtown to be politically correct. We don’t need cowards.
Sun-Times and WBEZ are nothing but fake news fraud toilet rats — FAKE POLL
This is true.
