Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.

Illinois/Chicago is and has been for decades a catastrophe. I’m voting against every incumbent (dem or rep) until we see: real public pension reform; real and substantial political corruption reform; improvement in IL fiscal condition from its current (for many years) position of #51, behind Puerto Rico; get tough crime reform; and improved public school children test results.
No state is managed like this—especially the outrageous $0.5T unfunded pension/medical liability, which is secured by homes via property taxes.
Duckworth often amazes me with her inane comments and ignorance of how her fellow Americans, especially veterans, are suffering under the Biden administration.
She’s a perfect example of what’s wrong with politicians – she’s ill-informed and not bright enough to comprehend the ramifications of her political actions.
Time for both Dickie and Ms. Duckworth to step aside and allow more intelligent individuals to take their places. Unfortunately, Dickie isn’t up for re-election, so this time around we can make a stand for intelligent governing by voting Ms. Duckworth OUT.
Duckworth is mentally ill
Dimwit Duckworth is a moron. Her and her fellow Dems are destroying this country with one bad piece of legislation after another. Inflation had been a non issue for 40 years before a dementia ridden lifetime politician was installed as president so that destructive socialist progressive policies could be implemented. Send this idiot to the sidelines where she belongs. Vote straight RED, and be sure you tell all your friends to do the same. The country you save will be your own.
LoL DUCK like LoL governor JB let Illinois residents die to Covid. VA hospitals (how could she do that?), nursing homes, seniors, crooked county residents under LoL PRECK and LORI Big Stick. Get out and vote these people out office! Go Salvi!
So someone gives a down thumb to deaths in Illinois by these LoL’s morons. Am I wrong? Get out and VOTE!
