With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Great! What an asset! So glad she has brought her mismanagement skills to a higher level.
This is great!
We want Pritzker, Johnson, Gates, and Mamdani to appear constantly on national media.
It’s a reminder to everyone in every state of what’s in store for them if they don’t vote Republican.
Full speed ahead!
Who knew the Peter Principle applied to teacher unions!
Again NOT PAYING HER FAIR SHARE. Delinquent again , over 1,000 , on a city bill !!!
I would say DOOM for the state of Illinois (like Chicago) but it’s really already there.
JB needs to ask Trump for a favor, how to have bankruptcy for a state.
Many teachers who don’t share her views will overlook her crazy rhetoric, tactics and far left views as long as she delivers on $$$ much like the police have their own goon John Catanzara representing their interests. Many of the people who say “how can you set aside your standards to vote for Trump” are the same people willing to set aside theirs for SDG and Caranzara.
I’m pretty tired of hearing non- CTU teachers rail on Gates after this latest showing of how spineless or duplicitous they are.
What’s most disturbing is how many people in IL, particularly leaders, try to rationalize SDG/ CTU behavior as though it’s not all that bad. News Flash – The CTU is BAD, real BAD. Absolutely no good will come from this for IL. I would recommend downstate teachers look for a new union and leave the IFT, if they have any sense.
