Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.

I was at a bar this weekend with some friends and an unabashed progressive said, “Say what you want about J.B’s progressive, agenda, but you can’t deny he’s fiscally conservative!” And I just laughed and said you can’t really believe the BS you spew, this was the largest budget in the state’s history!
I suspect that Mendoza will be the first IL Dem to fully break from the far left that now runs the state, and brand herself as what was a traditional Dem. She has always been a bit of a maverick. She has a brother who is a Chicago cop so she surely gets a regular earful of common sense perspective about how insane things have become.

This will also happen to casino tax revenue in a few years. Read some of the comments in the link I provided above. Not too much discretionary money flying around with much higher property taxes and increased insurance premiums.
