Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.

GREEN GRIFTER ALERT: Illinois Wants Biden Bailout Bucks Green Energy/Electric Car Fraud
Will this be a “create jobs” issue for copper thieves.
Illinois engages in a lot of uninformed policies and ridiculous laws (take the SAFE-T act for instance).
And this one is a doozy.
With all the problems Illinois faces, social and financial, it’s ‘full steam ahead, damn the torpedoes!’

So, for .64% of vehicles registered as electric, they are going to strain an already over stressed electrical grid…?
Makes perfect sense for IL…
Agree. No forethought whatsover. It’s not just the electrical grid but also the price. Look at natural gas prices. Nicor is still at $1.24 per therm for August. If this continues heating bills will be double that of last winter and 4 times that of 2 years ago.
Look on the bright side Fred. I expect wood burning stoves to make a come back in urban areas and many Chicogans need the exercise of chopping wood and using an iron wedge to split them. It will become a part of your daily routine.
I’m surprised the Dems haven’t leveraged this development.
