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.
Bravo to Kass for writing this article and bravo to Wirepoints for posting.
Kim Foxx is nothing but a world class turd. Let’s hope this decision of hers will be her downfall.
So the Cook County States Attorney AND the Illinois Attorney general both decide casually to not follow the law? Only in the perverted Oligarchy of Illinois. Disgusting.
If Illinois were a country instead of a state the citizens would be making Molotov cocktails and planning violent revolution.
They’re both taking their marching orders from one of their biggest campaign donors: George Soros.
