Given where Chicago is right now this new stadium proposal is a bad idea and a bad deal – Wirepoints on The Chicago Way with John Kass

Ted was on The Chicago Way with John Kass and Jeff Carlin to discuss the proposed $5 billion lakefront stadium project proposed by the Chicago Bears & Mayor Brandon Johnson, why Chicago is struggling compared to other metro areas across the country, why the city might or might not go the way of Detroit, and more.
Some Illinois lawmakers continue to deny that covid aid and other federal stimulus bailed the state out of its fiscal mess. But a look at past and projected revenues from COGFA shows just how much the bailouts blew out the state’s revenues. And now that they’re over, how much harder it will be for Illinois revenues to grow.
Election integrity – both real and perceived – is essential to government’s legitimacy and stability. Illinois, like the rest of the nation, better fix its problems now.
Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about Chicago’s latest bond offering, why Chicago’s dismal home value growth is due to poor policies, the next $70 million to be spent on migrants, the 9% salary hikes demanded by the CTU, and why Illinois lawmakers voting to stop Chicago’s selective enrollment schools from being closed is hypocritical.

But.. but.. but climate change, and abortion and gun control and trans rights and look over here as a distraction to the quiet invasion of America, aided and abetted by the progressive/ socialist/ democrat Peoples Republic of Workers Union Party members.
djt and the djtgop owns every “military aged” illegal alien crossing the border since about two weeks ago…..when djt and the djtgop decided, in order to help djt win the election (i.e. so we see more articles like this from John Kass and others), not to support the toughest border law proposal in over a generation, negotiated by James Lankford, one of the republican’s most conservative senators.
All million plus illegals and fentanyl, etc that cross in 2024 are now owned by djt and the djtgop.
Until Joe Biden issued over 94 executive orders overriding every Trump border initiative he could. Just like voiding student loans. No law exists that Biden hasn’t overturned for his progressives.
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT
Sorry. It was farcical legislation and allowed a path to amnesty and citizenship for the current criminal illegal aliens.That is a non-starter.
LOL who paid you to write this nonsense? It’s pure propanganda nonsense straight from the white house. Biden Admin really believes that black people are so dumb they’ll be Trump is at fault for the immigration crisis. BIDEN is racist.
YOU ARE ONE SICK PUPPY……….BETTER CHECK WHO HAS BEEN IN CHARGE FOR 3 YEARS………… MR SIPPY CUP!!!!!
Love Kass.
Dems are in real trouble in 2024 if Black Voters pull da R lever.
They won’t be pulling the R lever, not more than several percent at most. They’ll most likely not show up. Their ballots will still be counted in IL, of course, so it won’t matter here, but in swing states, might be enough to move the needle.
Any assumptions as to what “ they “ ( or anyone else) will do are speculative at best. Remember the look on Hillary’s face as her ship sank? She was supposed to have a lock on it! So, even though history suggests that Dems will vote for the worst of their kind out of spite/ stupidity (and a distaste for “ mean tweets “) over a better candidate, things are more unpredictable and weirder than any other time in American history.
