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.

kimmie is inline for a gold-plated pension. Poetic justice would be her taking some lead from an “innocent” killer who she has let walk.
Yep, vote for stupid, get stupidity. Or, worse, vote for corruption, get corruption. Either way, it’s hard to be sympathetic to the evil her DECISIONS have wrought. Just like JB, there was an option choices have consequences.
Chicago and cook county- You get what you voted for! Buyers remorse?
Vote next time for better peeps!!!!
It was Chicago voters that gave Fox the votes to win county wide. She did not win the suburbs. She dismissed 30% of the felony cases charged but only about 15% of the felonies committed ever get charged. Chicago is getting what it voted for as leadership!
Kim is our mad scientist. We are her petri dish.
Simply doing the bidding of her paymasters.
They don’t want to be held accountable for their actions so they’ll keep voting for this incompetent waste of space. Chiraq is on a jet sled to hell.
great interview,thanx ted,dan and amy-my question is ,didnt kim foxx just get re-elected?-way to go chicago voters,you must love the chaos,and dont whine and cry about it cuz YOU re-elected Foxx,and YOU elected Lori Lightfoot!-bravo!-so glad i dont live in Chicago
Foxx and Lori were elected because of the color of their skin. The Chicago permanent victim class are happy with the “catch and release “ program and like Lori and Foxx relate more to criminals than victims.
yep!!-agree!
