Ted joined Jeff Daly to discuss why Illinois’ property taxes are such a national outlier, why Illinoisans are forced to pay the high, guaranteed salaries, benefits and pensions of the government class, why Illinoisans aren’t getting their money’s worth for what they pay, the teachers unions’ influence over elections, and more.
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.
Pritzker sits in his maid-sterilized residence then asks older poll workers to go out and get exposed to an all day train of random people. My wife and I didn’t vote today, made no sense. Maybe it was too hard for him to reschedule a fixed election or he got his marching orders from Madigan.
“Pritzker sits in his maid-sterilized residence then asks older poll workers to go out and get exposed to an all day train of random people.”
The democrat party doesn’t care about it’s voters, they only care about the votes. They know most everyone votes democrat already.
Im sure all the pulic sector unions made sure all thier members got mail in ballots
