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.

Within the article it says “…the governor’s office to local and federal officials worked to put together an incentive package that Stellantis couldn’t walk away from” so, in true Crain’s form, the headline does not reflect 100% of the reality of the situation as it seems that Stellantis, a foreign corporation, is the one that is cashing in and not the State of Illinois.
