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.
Why do they need them, after all aren’t they learning from home? LOL
Lori has stoked the violence in Chicago by giving into the mob. As soon as she, Sophia King, the socialist and progressive caucus, Michael Kelly at the Park District and the Grant Park Advisory Council removed the statues because the domestic terrorist blm Marxist organization demanded, things have gotten increasingly worse. These individuals are responsible for the lack of economic development, jobs and safety in the city of Chicago. The destruction of Chicago is their fault.
I’m glad people still worship me. I stole from Indigenous People. I enslaved Africans. Please worship me.
Shameful situation! But, Lightfoot has all the security she requests.
Whose life is worth more?
