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.
Does Bailey have his concession speech drafted yet?
The BIGGEST NEED of the people of Illinois is cutting the budget!
Never seen a SINGLE BUDGET cut from JB.
Lets state with FORCING school districts to consolidate, budget cuts will be needed to force it.
This will no effect the teachers but it will eliminate a whole lot over administration/overhead costs
Our Governor States needs of the people and the most vulnerable. So in my working days that would have been 50$ more a month going to work! There is know amount of money these politicians won’t take out of our pockets
Bailey does understand that IL taxpayers are tired of seeing their money go to illegal immigrants nobody wants and social services programs that aren’t held accountable while showing few, if any, positive results.
Pritzker: “He doesn’t understand the state budget. He does not understand the challenges of meeting the needs of people, especially the most vulnerable in our state.”
Right back at you, big guy.
