Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard’s exorbitant spending, the tax increases included in Gov. Pritzker’s 2025 budgets, why Illinois budgets are created for politicians and not people, the fallout from Mayor Johnson’s “mansion tax” referendum being struck down by the courts, and more.

Once a great state to be in, now a great state to leave.
