A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
The Democrats decided to “punt” on the Remap probably because the one they have now wouldn’t even pass muster as it is.
Good. Maybe IL will challenge in court all the gerrymandered districts in IL and Cook County. Republicans need to sue like the democrats do.
YEAH another stupid democrat plan squashed.
Note the term chosen right out of leftist Democrat talking points: “Far-Right”.
Useless Media members.Ben Szalinski and Peter Hancock again choose to be DNC stenographers instead of the journalists they pretend to be. These dolts have referred to JB the Hutt and his political animal henchmen as ‘centrist’ rather than the leftist extremists they actually are and how they misgovern. It is this type of narrative-shaping and truth shading that Useless Media members employ to steer Illinois voters into making incredibly poor choices at the ballot box.
No matter how much you hate the media, it is never enough. Ever.

You can pretend it’s the fault of the media all you want but that same media operates in red states and yet those voters… Read more »
Yes, kids, it’s the lefty ‘both sides’ argument. I demonize none of those professions, Mr./Mrs./Ms. state retiree. Nice try, but you need to lie in order to make your political points, just as your dear friend JB the Hutt does. Neither one of you can simply be honest with the taxpayers of Illinois. The voters are blissfully unaware of how unfunded pensions will eventually shut down the state due to the Useless Chicago Media constantly siding with your lefty pals and deliberately keeping the electorate uninformed. I have spent considerable amounts of time in better-managed states and the media there… Read more »
sometimes you just have to let them learn the hard way….this will be one of those times.
To bad all the communists democracts

woop ass opened up on them.
The Illinois Mamdani Party despises the Constitution that prohibits race based rigging of elections.
