Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
Unfortunately, the anticipated 200M that didn’t materialize was probably figured in as part of a “ balanced budget “ and spent before received in short order. Pritzker has been doing that since he was elected, and takes a victory lap for it. I’d love to see Ben Shapiro get ahold of comrade Pritzker and blow his “ balanced budget “ fable sky high as he recently did to Newsom.
You mean Chicago political animals overestimated the amounts they would confiscate from a taxpayer? Say it isn’t so. Hopefully, Kam’s taste isn’t so encumbered.
Bally or Belly up will be the next…
The Hard Rock Casino in Rockford, Illinois had 1.5 million admissions, $146 million in revenue and generated $42 million in state and local taxes. In other words the Chicago Bally’s Casino is a major flop, then again everything flops in Chicago under the continuing failure of democrat rule.
How many patrons have been robbed leaving the casino? It’s not worth the risk.
Gosh. Do you think with all the crime downtown alot of gamblers are worried they’ll get mugged going in and out ? Assure them again Braindead its safe
The knight in shining armor that a Chicago casino was supposed to be, has ridden off into the sunset…never to “return”.
The knight never arrived.
