But governor WIDE-LOAD’s TV ads keep saying that he’s lowering taxes for everyone. That’s a head scratcher.

Tired of bailing out Chicago and CTA. Oth need to clean up waste and fraud before they ask Chicago non residents to pay for their incompetence.

This is the main reason this chumbalone
got the hell out of DuPage county. DuPage
should change the name to Cook County West
as the thief’s from Cook and Chicago come looking for money. The remaining coller counties should add Cook to their names as they will
continue to supply the idiots from stealing central
for years to come.

“Riders shouldn’t be punished with deep service cuts…”

It isn’t the riders that are causing service cuts. Its the declining ridership that SHOULD cause service cuts. Incompetent NITA leadership insisted on soaking the Chumbolones rather than making some long overdue tough choices.

So what can NITA’s remaining riders really expect? Plenty of empty seats to choose from.
