Pritzker rule by executive fiat, and how we still know little about the state’s failure to protect retirement home residents from COVID.

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.
Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about a new law passed by the Democratic supermajority and signed by Gov. J.B.

I will be writing to my state representative to ask Pritzker to resign for his handling of the nursing home and veterans home crisis that has occurred in this state do to his negligence and malfeasance, I ask everyone else to do the same.
