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.
Except for governor Pigsters family who can travel to Florida for horseback rides or Wisconsin so Mrs Pigster could tend to the animals ie: milking cows, shoveling out waste from horse stalls while the little Pigsters fed the chickens and rounded up stray goats.
Keep in mind he has formed an exploratory committee for a 2024 Presidential run. Everything he says and does needs to be viewed in that context.
The article doesn’t mention that Pritzker’s mask order went into effect two weeks after Illinois virus numbers had already peaked, as reported here at wirepoints, thank you very much.
Nor that on April 1st, he issued an order granting IL hospitals, nursing homes, other facilities, legal immunities for injuries or deaths from negligence, during virus outbreak patient care. I doubt many people have even heard about this Emergency Oder, which has stripped patients of the ability and rights to hold facilities accountable for below standard care.
It’s mind boggling to me that any thoughtful, rational person voted for Pritzker.
It is obvious to everyone that we are dealing with mobs of morons in this country. Their brains have been so addled with SJW thoughts and actions, coupled with no real world experience that they have lost the ability to think or reason. They have been spoiled rotten, having learned that if they throw enough fits they will get everything they want. Up to now they have been contained on college campuses and mom’s basement and are now out in the voting public along with the members of the Free Stuff Army and governmental unionized workers and that is a… Read more »
That’s so true. Most of the mob is comprised of misfits, dropouts, idiots, malcontents and others who cannot function in society, which explains their revolt against all of it. We’ve moved beyond trying to help the losers in society to putting them in charge.
Just to also double-emphasize that millions from the Millennial and Z gens have been actively INDOCTRINATED since grade school to hate the American system – they have been drilled in with lies and selective info to avoid giving a full picture of anything historical.
I propose that J. Beluga’s face be covered with excrement…
Starting to make his move for 2024.
Not every state needs masks.
There should not be a national mandate.
Masks are a way for the Dems to bully.
They couldn’t put Rahm in the White House so now we get J. Beluga.
No thanks.
Spot on…and I am sure there are so many other psychological ramifications of masks that benefit the democrat communists!
PRITZKER SUCKS
I be damn#d this mask thing is getting my goat bad!! Sick of these control freaks trying to turn us into Red America. How much did Prick pay the congresspeople to get a seat for this?? B. Barr best step up on this one darn thing…
Some people need to stuff a few masks in their mouth and Shut UP!
The some people I am talking about is Pritzger!
The Dictator Jabba has tens of millions to buy a blank check amendment and rehab his mansions. Why hasn’t the Dictator bought masks for minorities? Does he hate them that much?
What a dummy. I know Leftists long for centralized power, but that’s not the way this sort of thing works. You tried it back in April. Didn’t work then, won’t work now.
What a failure as Governor! We knew he’d be bad, but my gosh, he’s even exceeded my worst expectations.
Who’d going to run against this nitwit in 2022?
I’ll try anything once
Darren Bailey!! Please run against this idiot.
Bailey is not it. I appreciate his work, but he’d be mowed down in a general.
What do you think about Jeanne Ives if she is available? After all these tax increases and more to come she would have a decent chance now.
Ms. Ives should have beaten Rainer hope she comes back in 2022
I can say I certainly agree with that!
she is running for Congress in Nov up against Sean Casten- please support her with donations to her campaign. she is a true American.
We could very well have 3 republicans running in 2022 Ms. Ives, Mr. Bailey, and Mr. McSweeney for the ticket. This could become very interesting.
But you Governor Pritzker you ignored are most vulnerable population in Illinois are seniors, you governor played sick games you bastard.
Sadly I do believe the culling of old folks is intentional, fits the Commie go-forward agenda which needs to include erasing of history/historical reference.
