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.
Woodstock D200 has long offered”free” pre-K.
Our property tax rates have ranged between 3.2%-5% for a dozen years. Home values markedly lag inflation and relative home prices all over America.
This “free” public education is paid for mostly through property taxes. OPEBs and unfunded pensions are the burden of local homeowners.
The best interpretation of President’s “free” education promise is that he is completely ignorant of the cost burden he inflicts on local taxpayers. Because if he isn’t ignorant, it means he is a willful predator.
Bang on Susan.
Same here in Palos Heights.
Winston Churchill once famously observed that Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else.
I believe him.
The best is yet to come.
The money always comes from the middle class. Not just from high property tax and lower property value, inflation isn’t just an increase in the price of goods and services but also a decrease in the vale of old money put aside as savings.
Guess ABC doesn’t know who the real President is.
is it the person in the ear piece?
Was it the real Biden (senile) or the brown eyed body double Biden who is always squinting hahaha.
I just saw on the Suntimes online a picture of the squinter oh boy
