Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.
Got this tweet from IL Policy this morning. “Introduced a 1,245 page Illinois budget 4 hours before they vote on it. Negotiate behind closed doors. No opportunity for public comment. Sen. Steans says “this is way the process should be.” Really?”
A “budget.”
