Pritzker and Mayor Lightfoot regarding the illegal immigrants from Texas, Pritzker’s continued use of Covid emergency orders despite President Biden’s declaration, Illinois’ collapsing energy independence, the dangers of the SAFE-T Act, and more.

Ted was on The Chicago Way with John Kass and Jeff Carlin to discuss the proposed $5 billion lakefront stadium project proposed by the Chicago Bears & Mayor Brandon Johnson, why Chicago is struggling compared to other metro areas across the country, why the city might or might not go the way of Detroit, and more.
Some Illinois lawmakers continue to deny that covid aid and other federal stimulus bailed the state out of its fiscal mess. But a look at past and projected revenues from COGFA shows just how much the bailouts blew out the state’s revenues. And now that they’re over, how much harder it will be for Illinois revenues to grow.
Election integrity – both real and perceived – is essential to government’s legitimacy and stability. Illinois, like the rest of the nation, better fix its problems now.
Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about Chicago’s latest bond offering, why Chicago’s dismal home value growth is due to poor policies, the next $70 million to be spent on migrants, the 9% salary hikes demanded by the CTU, and why Illinois lawmakers voting to stop Chicago’s selective enrollment schools from being closed is hypocritical.

Just got back from President’s Cup – People think Pritzker is a leftist extremist goof and want nothing to do with him, or Chicago, or Illinois. It’s bad.

All Illinois cities feeling threatened by the emptying of jails come January 1 due to the Safe-T Act should implement Orland Park’s policy. Two of their police officers are now part-time ATF agents, allowing them to refer violent cases to an assistant US attorney, bring charges and hold assailants on bail. Expect a lawsuit to challenge this policy, but it’s an agreement with the ATF, so the Federal agency likely cleared the legal hurdle before signing it. Like TX and AZ taking steps to protect their borders, IL cities should take steps to protect their citizens.
hypocosiy, condescenion, capture by the public unions, incompoetence, self-serving, corrupt, uncaring of non public union taxpayers, that adhere to societal laws and norms….that about covers our political class in IL. By just about every political measure IL/Chicago is at the bottom.
Biden declared the pandemic over, yet Pritzker says it’s still an emergency. Either the fat man thinks Biden is senile and can’t be believed or the fat man’s leadership is so bad that Illinois is the only state still experiencing a pandemic. Which is it?
