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.
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU I GOT CAUGHT. You hid it on page 984 of 1,000 page bill
McCormick center triage during COVID ring a bell? How many millions wasted there for a facility that wasn’t used. Millions of wasted taxpayer dollars for Lion electric in Joliet. Millions on foreign invaders, while the roads are shit and bridges around will county are out of commission for months and one for 2 years. Pritzger sure loves to spend our money wisely
Leave it to Butterworth to hand out 1.3M for nothing and call it a good deal. This ranks right up there with his several failed green vehicle ventures at the taxpayers expense.
What’s $1.3 million amongst friends? Will come back as campaign contributions.
What a moron. The arrogance. Completely out of touch. “Gee, not such a bad deal”. Only $1.3M for a failed build of a bad site to house illegal immigrants. Sure – no problem. Absolutely no concept of value or the meaning of what it takes for honest tax payers to provide the $1.3M for him and that PINhead mayor to just crap away. Friggin pathetic.
When one is a trust fund moron with the business acumen of a five year old, 1.3M for nothing is a good deal.
