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.
Translation…..he is not getting his!!
The Bears ae as inept on stadium plans as they are on the football field. As I have said many times before, they will be playing in Soldier Field ten years from now– and probably longer. As long as the McCaskeys own the team, they will never put together a proposal that anyone– legislators, taxpayers or neighborhood groups– will support. Arlington Heights was never going to work. By my count, this is the sixth or seventh Bears proposal over the years in various locations that has stalled out. They are just incredibly incompetent.
Are the Bears using the Arlington Heights property as leverage with Arlington Heights and the City or as a fall back option? If they have $2 billion to put toward a lakefront stadium surely the property taxes in Arlington Heights are not a showstopper there. And if Wirtz & Reinsdorf can fund a $7 billion United Center area development surely they can build a ballpark on their own if they truly want one. Is that $7 billion project to be used as leverage/horse trading for a ballpark?
