Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
Lori Lightfoot needs to be included in the discussion of Chicago’s demise; she’s nonsensically been given a pass.
Let’s assume for the sake of argument that your populous, the vast majority of which now consists of slaves, leeches, dopes, druggies, baby killers and all around losers, somehow wakes up and miraculously changes its spots and starts throwing the bums out. Do you think the bums who feast on their easy access to your money are going to go quietly? Do you think these same losers are going to elect good honest leaders and hold them accountable? Do you think those good honest leaders have some tricks up their sleeves to dig you out of your financial mess without… Read more »
There is always plenty of “Other Peoples Money” to fund democratic programs.
‘When people discover they can vote themselves money that is the end of the Republic’ attributed to Benjamin Franklin. (1706 – 1790)
I’m glad every day folks are finally waking up to their collective power. After this presser, Johnson and the CTU are now universally despised. Aldermen are calling him a dictator! We’re gaining new ground and more supporters every day. Keep fighting!
JB, how are you not getting involved? Just another failure of our governor to protect the gem of the state…
As HJ suggests below, maybe we are close to the drain where the silly guilt ridden liberals of our state will recognize their guilt is doing more harm than good and vote for adults to re-enter the room. Sheesh, Rahm (not my guy) was 1 million times the executive of this clown and his posse.
The clown car in Illinois is filling up he Pritzker !
The guy is the back looks like Yakov Smirnoff. Maybe he got a more lucrative job with them rather than being a comedian. lol
They’re all comedians and the joke is on the taxpayers.
In general terms, when a situation deteriorates over a period of time, eventually there is a tipping point from which there is no longer a path to recovery. Chicago appears to have gone past the tipping point. The voters minds are too damaged by wokeness and poor education. They are incapable of making rational decisions. The whole system rests on the assumption that voters as a whole will make rational decisions. When that assumption is no longer true, chaos and/or evil will eventually rule. Increasingly, WP authors and others such as John Kass are sounding the alarm to the people… Read more »
Here’s the problem (it infects the dismal science (sic) of economics as well): we all assume rational decision making rules the day.
If that were the case, the Dem party would only have the abortion issue on which to build a platform…
Well stated! There seems to a dissent (a TD) to your post. But they refuse to comment on why they disagree. Typical, because they can’t.
Spot on, it can be fixed but the electorate is too stupid to elect the right people to fix it. I see the electorate as getting dumber not smarter.
Apparently censorship is alive and at WP… Maybe add a bit to the “About Us” section that clarifies what will be censored beyond that which isn’t protected by the First Amendment? Truth will always win, even if some might consider it mean…
Martin, it appears you may be another who doesn’t understand that comments don’t go live until the are reviewed. They get blocked only for standard reasons — excessively bad language, racial and sexual slurs, repetitiousness and the like. There is no viewpoint discrimination. None of yours have been blocked that I am aware of.
At the end of Emanuels term, it was clear that Chicago had become ungovernable. The grievance industries of Chicago far and away outnumbered any possible shared values. It’s clear now, with this fight between the mayor and the school Supt., that Chicago’s culture of: I’ll be long gone by the time this debt bomb explodes, is drawing to a close; bankruptcy is for certain, on the horizon.
