A set of state lawmakers want to extend CPS’ current school closing moratorium to February 1, 2027 – the same year CPS is set to transition to a fully-elected school board. That means schools like Manley High School, with capacity for more than 1,000 students but enrollment of just 78, can’t be closed for anther three years. The school spends $45,000 per student, but just 2.4% of students read at grade level.
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.
The partisan nuttiness of Illinois Democrats truly knows no bounds.
After all the years Durbin has been in the Senate we all know he’s not qualified.
I am not a fan of any politician. ?
Having met the age and residency requirement, Richard Durbin IS qualified. Additionally, he was a Congressperson previously. ?
Before becoming US Senators from Illinois, Paul Douglas (1949-1967) was a brief Chicago Alderperson and his successor, Charles Percy (1967-1985) was president of Bell & Howell. ?
Any vote for Durbin or Biden is a vote for blm and looting, rioting, and burning.
I never said or implied voting for anyone. I just gave the facts. ?
Obviously Durbin is a bad example of a Catholic just as Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi who all scream that they are good representatives of being Catholic.
Dick Durbin is not qualified to be in the Senate. Duckworth is only there because she pulls the war wounds when she can.
There are so many people who have issue of the same and more and they go on as if nothing there to see.
This woman is qualified and then some to be on the highest court in the land.
He doesn’t no sh-just like Biden senile
Durbin is anti-catholic. He has no business talking about the judge. His own office is riddled with scandal taking advantage of a pandemic by allowing his political people Joanna Klonsky and Bales to get no bid contracts for fake PPE from a Chinese company. This was also engineered by Lori Lightfoot’s staff as well. See the bGA investigation.
Not qualified, or not a democrat?
Durbin in not qualified to be a Senator. What has he done for Illinois?
Durbin hates women!!
The Dems war on women never ends!
