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.
The ban is extended for eternity
The elimination of private property is one of the first things the communists go for. Landlords can not evict, tenants don’t pay and if it goes on long enough the landowners lose the property for delinquent taxes. Then the Government will own the properties so quite frankly maybe it’s all going to plan at the moment.
I don’t understand how corona virus and evictions are linked. Covid is an illness and evictions are for non paying tenants. So because of a virus you cannot evict someone. Might as well add in high blood pressure or diabetes or even a toothache or male pattern baldness as a reason for not being able to evict a non paying tenant. P.S. Where in a rental lease is it stated that due to Covid you can not be evicted? Must be between the lines somewhere. I need to get my Secret Sam decoder kit. Maybe the letters C-O-V-I and D… Read more »
That’s how they (Pritzker) want to gain total control over everything and everybody, they already have the courts in there pockets that’s been proven multiple times in this horse crap state. Fed up neighbor
The reason I brought this up is I received an email from Illinois landlord legislation advocacy advising me to contact my local reps about Senate Bill 3066. They say that that bill if passed could extend eviction moratorium until Oct. 1,2021. I did skim over the bill and dates were Oct.1. Maybe you could look at it and see if that is correct.
The supposed link is that the evicted, in financial dire straights due to coronavirus shutdowns, would move and join other crowded households. This would spread coronavirus. This is likely true because 3 out of 4 people catch coronavirus from someone in their home. The only tool JB has is to suspend evictions. The collateral damage, however, is astronomical. But he doesn’t care for two reasons: 1. the evicted are his voters, the landlord likely is not; and 2. To JB, all people worth less than a billion is a pleb, and he doesn’t really care if a landlord loses $10,000… Read more »
There’s no science linking them at all. None. Covid is just an excuse for another far left power grab. You could argue that covid entitles everyone to a free car to avoid crowded buses and trains and free food delivery to avoid crowded grocery stores
A home trashed by tenants protected by eviction prohibitions.
