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. The school spends $45,000 per student, but just 2.4% of students read at grade level.
Hopefully, all media will get the message, in Illinois, too.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about Illinois’ highest-in-the-nation property taxes, why lawmakers don’t want to touch the tax’s cost drivers, just how much Illinoisans’ tax burden has grown over the decades, why Gov. Pritzker failed to meet his promise to reform property taxes, and more.
Everyone blames covid but no one blames blm , the rioting, looting, burning or the mobs of black punks robbing, stealing and wilding. That’s what Lori cant control as she is only the mayor of the south and west side. This is all done on purpose in exchange for votes for the dummycrat party.
You might not know the west and south sides that well, because Lori has no control of them, nor is she the mayor of them. ☹️
Awesome!
1970 “Let’s move out of Chicago to Schaumburg/Naperville/Rosemont/etc.”
2015 “Let’s move back into The Loop! Rahm promises tax breaks!”
2020 “OMG! COVID-19, Work From Home, Riots, Taxes! Let’s move out of Chicago to Schaumburg/Naperville/Rosemont/etc.” ??♂️
In the Covid scared world Pritzker and Joe Biden promote, there is no need for Wacker and LaSalle to exist.
Downtown is Dead.
Section 8 housing is next.
Cops that do nothing are alive and well.
Let the fun and sun begin.
