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.

WI Republicans aren’t just sit back idly and do nothing when four progressive supreme court justices demand new maps and threaten to adopt maps on their own.
Like the article says, Republicans have a majority in the house and a supermajority in the Senate. That means….IMPEACHMENT!!! It takes a supermajority to remove a Supreme Court Justice and WI republicans have the power to do that. And they will, they’ve been threatening it for a while.
This is how you place hard ball in politics.
LOL I’m a day late and a dollar short, apparently on 12/22 the impeachment threat came off the table because the Dem. Gov gets to appoint a new D judge that stays in office until 2031.
Article title should be;
Smart Taxpayers Running for da Borders!!
If there is a reapportionment you can count on epic gerrymandering. The blue states states losing seats will simply realign to expel any Republican house members. It will happen in Illinois for sure…..again.
2030 reapportionment? There will only be a reapportionment favorable to Red states if someone other than a Demonrat occupies the White House.
Last I checked, the reapportionment is determined by a federal agency. As we’ve seen, there isn’t one federal agency that isn’t corrupt to the core.
Just like it only matters who oversees the vote counts, it only matters who is overseeing the census determining reapportionment.
It’s the Chicago way gone national and was completely predictable when bathhouse Barry was selected POTUS.
