"Is it just a coincidence the contractor involved in Pritzker's private construction projects got coronavirus contracts?"
If you’re frustrated with Illinois’ educational results, you may want to follow the money from teachers unions. In the last four years alone, Illinois lawmakers and political candidates have taken nearly $30 million in contributions from teachers unions and their national affiliates.
Lawmakers conveniently ignore the full impact of inflation when it comes to ordinary Illinoisans. Take the personal exemption on the state income tax. For tax year 2023, the exemption will not rise with inflation as it should under current law. And that means a higher tax bill for everyone.
Wirepoints President Ted Dabrowski testified on April 10, 2024 to members of the House Revenue and Finance Committee at the invitation of Rep. Joe Sosnowski. Ted told lawmakers that the state’s property tax burden has become dire for countless Illinoisans.
Ted joined WLS 890’s PM Chicago Show to discuss Chicago’s worsening pension crisis, why the city’s crisis makes it such an outlier nationally, its negative impact on residents, government workers and retirees alike, and what Mayor Brandon Johnson should do about it.
When has any company persisted with a project in the face of stronger local, statewide and national opposition? When have taxpayers subsidized a more harebrained project?

The print and broadcast media are greasing the slide of this state into total buffoonery.
There were no real reporters there, only the usual cheerleaders.
The 95% Democrat voters in Cook County must be convinced that Pigster is a total failure otherwise he wins again at reelection time.
Looks like another governor going down, time for the feds to open another investigation
Same Shite, different day.
JB, you are a very dirty little dog.
Wow! Some gutsy, ‘tell it like it is’ investigative reporting – How refreshing!
As I said before, you can’t take ANYTHING Pritzker says at face value.
Enjoy the misery Illinois – you voted for it!
This governor, Porky BJ Prickeater, is by far the dirtest governor the State of Buttcrack ever has had. It’s been revealed he’s got his fingers (through his various companies) in the production of the medical breathing machines, the medical testing kits, the maintenance of medical records company. So it should be of no surprise Porky wants everything shut down and everyone tested to fill his big fat pants pockets. How does his hotel, Hyatt, manage to get the rights to have his hotel smack dab in the middle of the major medical complex by acquiring the old Crook County Hospital… Read more »
