Ted joined Jeff Daly to discuss why Illinois’ property taxes are such a national outlier, why Illinoisans are forced to pay the high, guaranteed salaries, benefits and pensions of the government class, why Illinoisans aren’t getting their money’s worth for what they pay, the teachers unions’ influence over elections, and more.
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 autocrats in China are likely giddy people in the US continue to refer to this virus as Covid rather than by its proper name, China virus or Wuhan virus. Created in China and intentionally released to the rest of the world, people should never forget why this happened and who is responsible.
It’s proper name is SARS-CoV-2
I thought that the proper name is the “Chinese Virus”.
…or am I mistaken and it actually originated in Ireland?
Whatever name is used, the main point is that a unique virus was never proven/isolated. We can discuss the gain of function research at the Wuhan Lab ever since it was banned in the US and thus transferred over there, but the first point remains. Whomever says this virus was identified is a fraud.
