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.
That can is getting a whole lot of dents in it…
And according to Pritzker Ive lowered prescription drugs for all Illinois people and eliminated the grocery tax seriously jelly belly 1 % of 100 dollars you are nothing but a dog I hope the DOJ gets your ass,
Accelerated Pension Payments paid by a bond issue.
Illinois political animal gross fiscal mismanagement gets worse.
I’m sure Moody’s and the other blind-as-a-bat rating agencies will bless this issuance.
One credit card to another.
Illinois’s grand ponzi scheme.
It’s like they are sending a message that pensions will be paid first. Very interesting.
I sorta have the feeling that the bare minimum will be applied to the pensions and the rest will disappear into various Illinois dark holes…come next year another bond issue, new sales tax etc. Funds in Illinois never seem to go where they are needed desperately because there are too many goodies to buy
You are right the Illinois taxpayers will pay for the pensions unless the taxpayer leaves the state. That is what is happening, high income families and job creators are fleeing in record numbers at an increasing rate. Best of luck collecting tax money from people on public assistance.
I would rather invest in Pokémon cards!!
