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.

IN MY WILDEST DREAMS I COULD NOT WASTE MONEY THIS FAST……..THESE PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS!!!!!
Currently EV makes no sense for this in the Midwest. But, I am sure those connected and are pushing this stupidity are invested in the companies building this junk. Pelosi proved that when they mentioned on Fox that her husband beat the S&P by 80%. Gosh – how does that happen? Buiding these F-ing busses should be the last thing done. They first need to build the power source and grid to be able to power and charge this junk. I wonder if any of the $50M goes toward Tax payer infrastructure…hmmm, likely not.
Let’s see.. 50M to hire at most 1230 employees and three years to do so while cranking out vehicles already proven to be pretty useless in real winter weather. The Dems better hope for “ global warming “ or their brainstorm of everything EV will only be so much taxpayer funded scrap from December through March.
How much money indirectly via a trust or even someone politically connected are invested in these ventures? Lots of money will be made by only a few. Taxpayers seem to have unlimited funds for the state to invest.
