Pritzker doesn’t expect electricity brownouts as some industry experts warn – Center Square

“Nobody should think that what we passed in [the state’s clean energy law] is reducing the amount of energy that we are able to provide across the state of Illinois,” he said. “What we are doing is incentivizing the creation of more energy production in our state. That’s what’s going on.”

Another lie. Good luck charging all those electric cars during the brown outs. You may need to find an alternate way to get to work to keep paying those taxes.

JB is dumb enough to think that Solar Panels work at night and that Windmills work the 55% of the time that the wind doesn’t blow so…..that must make him an expert on electricity brownouts.Rest assured, Illinois, JB is an expert and is on top of it. Youze chumbolones just shaddayp and gets back to paying youze taxes.

As SL he can declare brownouts are a small sacrifice Illinoisans are happy to make in the war against climate change.

BTW, the climate’s been changing for millennia but that’s beside the point.

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.

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.”
