A set of state lawmakers want to extend CPS’ current school closing moratorium to February 1, 2027 – the same year CPS is set to transition to a fully-elected school board. That means schools like Manley High School, with capacity for more than 1,000 students but enrollment of just 78, can’t be closed for anther three years. The school spends $45,000 per student, but just 2.4% of students read at grade level.
Hopefully, all media will get the message, in Illinois, too.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about Illinois’ highest-in-the-nation property taxes, why lawmakers don’t want to touch the tax’s cost drivers, just how much Illinoisans’ tax burden has grown over the decades, why Gov. Pritzker failed to meet his promise to reform property taxes, and more.
Both Larry and One Man Exlipse have stepped on their proverbial pee pees now. People see thru the BS now. Well at least everywhere except Cook County where the majority of citizens dont do math and are apparently lemmings.
If your the dem machine–the game plan is at least keep the jb martial law lockdown going til november. Preckwinkle just got hers extended another 2 months–thats the only cards they got to play against the overwhelming math. If your one of the 100s of thousands who loose your job or business your just collateral damage towards “building the post-covid world” for the gov worker paradise and “fight for $15” for the rest of us chumbalones
I wonder what scientist has told Dictator for Life Jabba that when a covid vaccine is produced it will be 100% effective and 100% safe
Bill Gates. I only wish I was kidding, man. The world may be new, but she’s far from brave.
