“Glennon’s facility with translating the Illinois Ruling Class’ fantasy math into the tangible human costs it imposes makes him a dangerous man to Illinois pols and a must-read for Illinois residents.”

Nice job, Mark. Both you and Dan seem to have a very level-headed outlook on all this, which is refreshing amidst the din of the usual Illinois denial politics. The most interesting thing I took away and continue to think about is, “when will the downward spiral gain enough speed to be noticeable?” Perceptive people see it now, but when will it be something that the politicians can’t deny?
Is there a way to circulate this to all legislators and judges so that they can’t plead “surprise” at train-wreck time?

We are lucky to have a person like Mr. Glennon. Who else has the tenacity, intelligence and will to shed light on the political tsumami of Illinois & Chicago politics? The newspapers are inconsistent in reporting the issues and an aggregator that covers all of Illinois without bias is truly appreciated. I would enjoy even more commentary from Mr. Glennon.

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
Mark joined Dan and Amy to talk about just how much the illegal immigration crisis is costing Chicagoans and Illinoisans, why it’s so hard for the public to realize how big the state and the country’s spending problem is, why Illinoisans have so little confidence in the state’s election security, and more
Illinois’ teachers unions unions used the March primary to try and take out State Reps. Blaine Wilhour and Adam Niemerg, pouring a combined $462,000 into the campaigns of two Republican primary opponents. Their effort failed, spectacularly. But while the unions lost this time, their efforts shouldn’t be ignored.
Satire and sarcasm may abound, but loss of confidence in elections is no laughing matter. The ways to restore both the perception and reality of honest elections are simple.

Very nice! I’m jealous 😉
