Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
Remember, these businesses will be state-subsidized, not state-owned. As an Illinois taxpayer, that should make you feel better (LOL).
First Venice, a town long known for its only sources of revenue being strip clubs and questionable traffic tickets and now Peoria. Get ready IL taxpayers- the Marxist, give away, “ stop and steal “ stores are coming your way . Courtesy of… well, you.
You are spot on Mark, no need to give away our tax dollars to support a store that will close in 12
to 24 months. This is just a new place to steal from.
Hold on a minute. This area in Peoria sure doesn’t look like a “desert” for grocery stores.
