Wirepoints President Ted Dabrowski joined Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson on Chicago’s Morning Answer. They talked about Lightfoot and Pritzker’s plan to bring business from Texas to Illinois, the Obama presidential library and state spending on new programs, and property taxes.

Gov. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
While this new advisory referendum could be nothing more than a political distraction, it could also be that lawmakers are gauging Illinoisans’ appetite for another bite at a progressive income tax hike – this time with lower property taxes as a sweetener.
At $1.5 million per job, the new incentive package from the state is at least 15 times the norm. For this much money, the state could have just handed out a million bucks to 827 people, instead of creating 550 jobs.

omg,theyre not wearing masks!!-SUPER SPREADER EVENT!!-oh,only if its conservatives is it considered a ” super spreader”
Wait… they forced union guys to build a box and fill it with dirt for a photo.
They couldn’t even clean the kitty litter box.
Remember that someone there has no toilets (won’t mention who) and it will be used when no one is looking.
These folk really have their priorities straight– $800 million for a vanity toy, with so many other worthy public needs flat out ignored.
Looks like they are playing in a sandbox, do they not know how to operate a shovel directly on the grass of that historic park? In other words they cant dig a hole, too complicated.
yuck, the only female is grotesque groot!
Big Mike!!
Alright everyone, dig each hole 6 feet deep and then jump in.
Where were the crowds of adoring fans? No choruses of FJB or FLL?
Per Obama, its a “university for activism” not a presidential library. He road his activist gig on the south side (equity hustle) all the way to the white house. But now Chicago not good enough to call home?
I wonder if Berry has any problems with systemic racist community disinvestment activists, affordable housing set-asides, carjackings, wilding gangs, crackheads, homeless, ctu,,,etc types out in his pad in Martha’s Vineyard? (or JB at the horse farms in Florida or Wisconsin for that matter)
That’s a lot of money for the worlds largest outhouse
“The time for honoring yourself will soon come to an end, Highness.”
Take a second look at the picture. Nobody seems to want to get near the troll dressed in blue on the right side.
That’s because of Lori’s security zone. They were afraid the others would attack her with shovels.
OSHA violation!
No hard hats!
Is that JB with a shovel? That’s a first. Probably will throw out his back-front-sides. Wait! I forgot he shovels tax hikes and mandates down our throats on a regular basis.
That’s not a shovel, that’s the spoon he eats his ice cream with.
