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.

Complete morons spreading fear… shockingly in an election year, what a coincidence
Look up Event 201 ran by Bill Gates, homedelete, its shocking
I looked at that 201, how convenient that it was weeks before the Chinese Plague, the Wuhan Virus, was cast upon the world. I have no doubt that there will eventually be a pandemic. MERS, SARS, Ebola, black plague, athenian plague, and so on, history is full of them. But Wuhan Virus appears to be the least lethal of all the pandemics yet they’ve used the most draconian measures to control it. All this does is make us less likely to comply next time where there is a 10% or 30% death rate, and it’s a ‘bring out your dead!’… Read more »
