Wirepoints President Ted Dabrowski joined the Scott Slocum show on WJOL in Joliet. They discussed the brain drain from Illinois and how college students are leaving the state because of higher tuition, spurred by skyrocketing pension costs and administrative bloat.
Wirepoints pieces:
- Illinois’ higher education crippled by skyrocketing pension costs
- While Illinoisans are distracted, politicians run up the bill. Keep an eye on your district’s teachers contract
- Another failure of Illinois pensions: “Retired” Illinois superintendent with $230,000 annual pension double dips with $300,000 salary in Texas
Hopefully, all media will get the message, in Illinois, too.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about Illinois’ highest-in-the-nation property taxes, why lawmakers don’t want to touch the tax’s cost drivers, just how much Illinoisans’ tax burden has grown over the decades, why Gov. Pritzker failed to meet his promise to reform property taxes, and more.
Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about the free speech controversy brewing in Wilmette due to the city’s refusal to fly a religious freedom flag, the city’s left-wing excesses and the growing culture war, the latest money spent on the illegal immigrant crisis, and more.
