Ted joined Scott Slocum to talk about the huge potential cost to taxpayers for the Bear’s proposed new stadium, why the economics of publicly-funded sporting arenas don’t work, what the latest criminal justice statistics tell us about the SAFE-T Act’s impact so far, the latest developments on Chicago’s ongoing migrant crisis, and more.
We’re supposed to worry that climate change itself is to blame for Illinois’ failing climate policy, but far bigger problems are obvious.
Traumatizing robberies and violent crime continue to go up in Chicago this year, hitting a six-year high compared to the same time last year. It’s crime in neighborhoods perceived as safe, sometimes taking place in broad daylight, that’s driving the increased fear among Chicagoans and suburbanites.
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.
LOL this is all about goofs who only get their insurance from SR-22 type places, with bad credit, bad driving histories and questionable payment histories. “INSURANCE IS TOO EXPENSIVE!!!!” Screams the single mom with three kids from two dads with a driving abstract 4 pages long and four accidents in the last decade. That’s what this is about, really.
Hahaha! Do you really believe the demographic that you described actually pays for auto insurance? Maybe when they initially purchase a vehicle at the buy here pay here stealership, but they’ll drop it like a hot potato as soon as they can.
Note to politicians with a “D” next to their name – auto insurance rates are going up everywhere in Illinois. Not just in minority communities. Seems like the people in Illinois are paying more to cover the increasing costs in California, New York and Texas. Maybe it has to do with the illegals? Please help out all the citizens of Illinois regarding this issue.
My auto insurance insurance dropped by two-thirds when I moved to North Carolina.
For you Democrats, that’s about 66%. Oh, sorry, I forgot you geniuses who went to Chicago schools don’t know how percentages work.
