A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
Illinois and Chicago keep selling Texas and Florida real estate.
Crooks all of you, you all belong behind bars all of you.
Let Chicago pay. They’re the ones that mismanaged it.
I hate whenever the legislature is in session because it ALWAYS men more taxed. If this is such an important issue, let’s cut that much from other ares that aren’t as important. The squeezing the taxpayer has got to stop before there are no more taxpayers in Illinois.
BLM Brandon’s Employee Head Tax will solve the transit problem. There will not be any workers left in the City needing to take the train to work.
Then they can cancel all the trains and save that much more money!
Win. Win.
And it’s more taxes for the win. Who would’ve guessed? Was there ever any doubt. They do the performative resisting then, in the end, go to where they knew they would go from the beginning. And the Illinois stupes eat it up. Be sure to grin when you bend.
Typical Illinois, Democrat, Pritzker process being run here. In the article it is called a “big generational bill.” Yet it has not even been introduced, much less thoroughly debated, and it must be passed tomorrow in a lame duck session. Always back room deals involving D’s only, with no transparency, and a lot of hyperventilating. All the hallmarks of yet another con job, and the taxpayers will be the suckers.
How about a head tax for all Dems in Cook County!!
Tax billionaires. I can hear those private jets revving up now. Tax streaming services. I hear cords getting clipped. How about cutting the political army of workers you don’t fricking need .
It’s always FIND A NEW TAX !!! Never cut the political workforce . Or why have duplicate rail lines . No one is GUARANTEED A JOB FOR LIFE.
Ain’t that cute? A bunch of clueless, paid shills dress up like a choo- choo train and try to make a case for paying duplicate transportation systems and their bloated bureaucracy/ staffs more taxpayer money. “ Pardon me, boy! Is that the Chattanooga choo-choo..?” Everyday is Halloween in Springrad.
