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.
The State sticks it up the tax payer’s rear every single chance they get. Nothing the Illinois state government has done in the years has provided any benefit to the average tax paying resident. This stunt lets the government make a statement like they have our interests in mind…they plaster it in the press…and believe they’ve done us all a great favor. Hey, I’ll take it…it’s more than we normally get.
Any bets that the tax will increase enough next time to jolly St. Pritzger’s largesse?
Yes but they just stuck the people that use the tollway and NOT the people using public transit with a 1.5 BILLION dollar increase
Oh. We’ll be reminded come election time as how the dems get not only the grocery tax but this fuel tax because they are such great ,kind fellows
