Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.

Governor Toilets can’t quit the crooked corrupt Cook County kleptocracy
Given the Madigan ComEd investigation has been going on for quite awhile, which was essentially a work around to give jobs to friends and cronies since patronage was being monitored closely, should Pritzker be doing anything that would appear to look like he wants freedom to hire friends and cronies?
But…but!! Governor Flintstone is one of the “good guys”. He won’t abuse patronage. He only begged felon Blago for an appointment to a Senatorial post so he could correct the corruption in the system. I tell ya, he’s one of the good guys!
Should Pritzker be successful on this we will wish for Madigan back.
Hello Pritzker, use your head this is not a very good thing to try and do right now.
