I hope it does a little more than the old guard groups like the Civic Federation, Chamber of Commerce, Economic Club and others. They all turned into rubber stamps for Dem mayors and dodged any serious involvement on any of the big issues of the day like pensions, crime, traffic, property taxes and failing schools. All the senior execs were too afraid to upset anyone and hurt their own careers or firms.

Wasn’t BLM also a tax exempt organization dedicated to raising our awareness of the issues facing black Americans? We see how that played out.

Across party lines? Are any of these ‘leaders’ from the party out of power in Illinois?

Oh great more money thrown at “programs” that will do zero and the criminal element will thrive even further. They need to take their money and build more jails and throw the moron criminal behind bars for lengthy sentences, everything else is just a waste of time and money
