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.
Illinois’ dismal education numbers – especially for minority students – are embarrassing to politicians and officials. But rather than admit there’s a problem with Illinois’ education system, they attack the state’s own standards for being “too high,” instead.
Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about the free speech controversy brewing in Wilmette due to the city’s refusal to fly a religious freedom flag, the city’s left-wing excesses and the growing culture war, the latest money spent on the illegal immigrant crisis, and more.

Well, from whom would she like to receive this desparately needed lesson?
Absolutely heartbreaking interviews last night and this am on the news re the murder of this one years old. Leadership lessons? What has she done since 42 people were shot a couple of weeks ago? Then 102 shot weeks later? Absolutely nothing. It is not only a lack of leadership– there isn’t even a response– good , bad or weak. Just nothing. She better take help from wherever she can get it and swallow her pride. You have to wonder how long the African American ministers, community leaders, parents, principals, cops, etc will put up with this rampant ineptitude and… Read more »
It’s president Trump, Lori, it’s President Trump to you. He’s still your president.
What Lightfoot needs is Chicago bankruptcy now.
Then who does she need them from? She sure as heck needs them. You can call her Mayor F-Bomb after that city council outburst.
Lightfoot goes Chicago State on a problem that requires University of Chicago thinking. Again.
“I don’t need leadership lessons from Donald Trump”.
Hey groot, if you take a look at the out of control crime and abysmal finances in Chicago, I would say you most certainly do. The whole city is a complete train wreck.
Go be a community organizer or some such. You definitely don’t have what it takes to be mayor.
I prefer “Beetlejuice” to “Groot”.
So true, you take leadership lessons from chuckles the clown. Aka (Pritzker)
She is a very tiny person. In more ways that one.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a LEADER.”John Quincy Adams. You just need leadership skills in general. Even basic ones would help.
And a heavy semester of “English for public officials who want to avoid sounding like street trash.”
And Ms LL doesn’t need to request any $$$ from President Trump.
Enjoy the misery Chicago – you voted for it.
Right you are queenie!!
All that you need is money from him.
Why not ask the Pritzker billionaires for the money?
Ha, ha, ha ha ha…, tee hee
Yes, you do need leadership lessons.
I find it almost impossible to comment when the topic is Lightfoot. Too many words I would use would get me banned from Wirepoints.
Larry, you are a total failure. You don’t need leadership lessons you should be thrown out of office for incompetence. In case you didnt read the first sentence, Larry, you are a total failure.
