A set of state lawmakers want to extend CPS’ current school closing moratorium to February 1, 2027 – the same year CPS is set to transition to a fully-elected school board. That means schools like Manley High School, with capacity for more than 1,000 students but enrollment of just 78, can’t be closed for anther three years. The school spends $45,000 per student, but just 2.4% of students read at grade level.
Hopefully, all media will get the message, in Illinois, too.
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.
The democrat scum do not like Toomin because he is white and he had the audacity to call out Smollett after Cabrini Kim and Michelle Obama made it clear that was not allowed. Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris tried to start a race riot in Chicago with the fake attack and it failed. Toomin got what he deserved by being a hack all his life anyway. He always followed the dictates of the fascist party now he will be out. Good.
