Pritzker defends mandated gas pump sticker in face of expected lawsuit – Center Square

“There’s no political speech involved there, at all,” Gov. JB Pritzker said. “And, here’s what we’re doing. We’re lowering the impact on people of the rise in prices of gas all across the world, but lowering the impact for the people here in Illinois.” Asked why there wasn’t a required sticker for when the gas tax doubled in 2019, Pritzker didn’t respond.

High Gas Taxes are a goal for Pritzker. They help to establish his true progressive bona-fides nationwide. I’m surprised that Pritzker hasn’t made IL gasoline taxes the highest in the nation so that he can wave his climate change and green successes during his 2024 Presidential campaign. Pritzker has never given a rats ass about the taxpayers or people of Illinois. We are all just cannon fodder for Pritzker’s delusional White House ambitions.

Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Gov. Pritzker’s ‘ethics reform’ eliminates competitive elections and choice for voters – Wirepoints on AM 560 Chicago’s Morning Answer

Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about a new law passed by the Democratic supermajority and signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker that results in brazen election interference, keeping Republicans off ballots; about a referendum that tests the waters for a renewed progressive income tax hike; about how the Parental Notification referendum question was knocked off the ballot; and why laws like that pass so easily.

Chicago needs more champions of literacy like Willie Wilson – Wirepoints

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.”
