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.
Now there’s a law in need of change. Campaign donors paying for the defense of the crooked alderman lawyer they knowingly hired specifically for who he was to reduce their taxes also pay for his defense. And elected officials are still allowed to have tax reduction law practices. Another Illinois and city racket the legislature and city happily permit.
