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.
I hope everyone realizes that Pritzker never meet with or consulted with Welch, Harmon or anyone in the general assembly he did this on his own with a back room deal. Jennie Ives had the Edgar county watch dogs on radio Saturday.
Fed up, I was not aware of that. What’s the source that I missed saying that?
Mark,
Its was this past Sunday’s radio show, Jennie was asking the Edgar watch dog questions about the plant and it was stated that there was no input or consultation on Pritzker’s part with the general assembly in Springfield I may be wrong but I was astonished at what details were revealed on how this plant was granted the right to build.
Thanks.
2,600 jobs will create lots of other jobs as this money is spent. There is a multiplier effect which makes everyone a little richer.
The business that no one else wanted is the jewel in King Pritzker’s crown. Only in Illinois.
