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.
Anyone know the percentage of black voters in Chicago who voted for Foxx
She will probably hire Jussie Smollett as her bodyguard.
Will Illinois ever have a REAL REPUBLICAN PARTY? Cowards and losers aren’t getting the job done.
The blm group, the bangers, the permanent victim class and the lakefront angry, unhappy, ugly losers are responsible for this. I have no pity for any of them when they are attacked, robbed, carjacked and brutalized. I also have no pity for the welfare moms wailing on tv when their aspiring rapper, nba star gets shot. They got exactly what they voted for.
Cook County (not including Chicago):
Biden 62%
Martinez 61%
Kim Foxx 43%
Over 130,000 people who voted for Iris Y. Martinez voted against Foxx. Considering they were next to each other on the ballot, this is encouraging.
Another great George Soros plant… Chicago is fuxxored!
It has been said here multiple times. The core problem with Chicago (and Illinois) is the residents. Go ahead and blame the politicians all you want but it’s your fellow voters that are leading the way to doom. Rather than face reality they prefer slow suicide. They will take you with them if you stay.
Dear Chicago, it’s not me, it’s YOU. How KFx was re-elected baffles the mind. Apparently, people prefer crime and lawlessness. They prefer repeat offenders finding their way back to the streets to harm people and their property. Apparently, her mishandling of Smullet was okay. So, Chicago, as many of us who think for ourselves (sheesh, simply think), start to pack our U-Hauls and leave, which will only hasten the sinking of LL’s holey boat, remember you did it to yourself. Oh, and when those neighborhoods that are plagued with tremendous crime, wonder why the police have no interest in risking… Read more »
Foxx said the people chose justice over law and order. She is pure garbage, anti cop. She can thanks scum times and the tribune for her reelection.
