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.
Fact. Government unions are unconstitutional and soon will be all eliminated due to their constitutional violation. The grifters, thieves and leeches of SEIU, AFSCME, CTU and IFT will soon need to find other ways to try and fleece the real workers of Illinois.
What case is coming before SCOTUS to make these changes? When will it happen? Stating “fact” without having any facts is quite comical. Public unions are well within their constitutional right to collectively bargain as it is enshrined in the Illinois Constitution. Good luck proving otherwise. lol
I voted with my feet over 20 years ago and my bank account is over $200K fatter.
The collective bargaining you so love in Illinois is a massive racket hoisted on taxpayers by corrupt Dems and their masters da public sector unions.
Collective bargaining wasn’t hoisted on taxpayers but rather decided upon by the taxpayers that they believe it’s fair to allow these unions and the negotiations that go with them. Some of you lunatics just can’t handle the will of the people.
Good quote and so true!!
Virginia is on the verge of the death spiral that comes when government unions conquer a state.
Virginia is for Lovers.
Illinois is for corrupt Dems!!
