Pritzker endorses Lightfoot’s new Chicago vaccine mandate, will he apply it statewide? – FOX32 (Chicago)

A spokeswoman for Gov. Pritzker praised the new mandate: "...Chicago (is) implementing evidence based strategies already at work in other major cities. Illinois was one of the first states to reinstitute a mask mandate and remains one of only a handful of states where masks are required indoors. The Governor has urged local communities to follow the mask mandate, get vaccinated and boosted and physically distance when possible."

He might did what Newsom did prior to recall, or what Whitmer is doing now and not impose any such mandates before an election.

The fact that the Dems lost the governor seat in VA, almost in NJ, and that Polis in CO lifted their emergency measures, are more or less signs that any such measures will be detrimental.

My gut feeling is that he’s going to impose universal vaccine mandates it if he wins reelection. Two days later likely. He surrounds himself with people who are just as a militant and partisan as he is. As the election comes closer, his hyper-partisan progressive staff will become increasingly unhinged and spiteful, and actively seek vengeance against the 45-48% of the population that doesn’t vote for him.

His staff run the risk of creating a McCauliffe type situation, where he or his staff say something that riles up the normal dem voter against him.

Who will this negatively impact? The unvaccinated. Who are the majority of the unvaccinated?

POC.

Consider that for a moment.

How can Pritzker claim that vaccine mandates in restaurants for 5 yr olds are grounded in “evidence based strategies”?? What evidence? Did the reporters laugh in his face?

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.
