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.
The psychopaths Groot and the fat slob dictator want children to die. Why else would they refuse help?
I read the letter and yes there were strong words. However, nothing in the letter was untrue. This mayor is incapable of admitting she has a problem, no action plan to solve it. Her actions are hypocritical regarding gatherings. She clearly favors some over others. She hides behind the complacent press.
““I don’t need leadership lessons from Donald Trump,””
It’s President Trump, Lori. President Trump. You better get used to saying it.
Don’t worry, she will have 4 more years of getting used to saying it properly.
