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.
So while BLM and ANTIFA were looting, rioting an dburningsmall businesses in Chicago Pritzker refused to send i nthe national guard but for a chance to virtue signal about Trump he jumps in. Disgusting.
He refuses to send the guard for riots but sends them to protect against a non-existent threat to the capital as a virtue signal to his base.
This guy is incredible.
Ha, ha, ha. Those are about the only Humans who will be attending.
