Audio and summary
Another Illinois law that should just be ignored, the list is getting VERY long.
Our stupid Governor Commodus Maximus’s idea should never become law.
every neighborhood will look like a brazilian favela
JB can put section 8 housing in Chicago where it belongs, not in suburbs where law abiding citizens live. How about next to one of his mansions.
Pritzker has already snatched the ability of a local government to control the siting of windmills and solar farms within their jurisdiction and redistributed it to himself. HB 5048 will forbid local governments from controlling the number of gambling machines within their jurisdictions (Pritzker’s payment to Rick Heidner for running in the Republican gubernatorial primary to dilute Ted Dabrowski’s candidacy). Now he wants to take local control of zoning. If you want to march to No More KIngs, then march against Pritzker.
PIGSTER wants Section 8 housing all over the state . Has to get housing for the ILLEGAL INVADERS , future voters , throughout the state .
