This guy is morally bankrupt if he runs a video gambling empire.
I wonder who his silent partners are?
Further, since he’s obviously a Democrat, why isn’t he challenging Pritzker?
I’ll tell you why.
The Dems are afraid of Ted.
Unfortunately for the Dems, President Trump has taught the public how the game is played and how not to fall for Dem misdirection and corruption.
The Republican voters see this shill candidate for exactly what he is.
Nice try, but we all see you. This isn’t the 1970s.

Interesting timing is this…
The Northwest Suburban Cook County Republicans had their Lincoln Day Dinner last night, an event that had over 500 guests. There was a “straw poll” for Governor, and the results were: Ted Dabrowski 55%, Darren Bailey 35%, other 10%.
Then This guy suddenly comes out of the woodwork? Maybe he gets an expedited Casino Gaming License or Property Tax Relief on his Real Estate Developments for bloodying Ted’s nose? Hmm….

God help us. BJ will destroy Chicago and this fellow is even more dangerous than Pritzker. What’s left to throw in the pot, (yes, pun intended), legal and regulated prostitution and harder drugs. He could make Pritzker look like a boyscout and that is saying something.

If this guy gave money to these two jackasses, he is no Republican. Another way for Jumbo to use his money to manipulate the election. Pathetic.

More of Pritzker meddling in Republican politics to benefit himself. Look for a well-funded campaign to try and knock Ted Dabrowski out. Don’t let it work.

Another great example of the Illinois republican party. What did Kass call it, “The combine.” Why do you think people don’t vote in elections in Illinois?

Looks like Pritzker found a new version of Aurora’s mayor to run against him this time.

That’s a hard “NO.” I feel another Darren Bailey coming on. Putting an R after the name of someone supporting Foxx and Johnson is like putting lipstick on a pig..

Elections records show at least 878 campaign donations by Heidner and his companies since 2000, totaling $1.459 million.

A whopping $740.00 to (R)’s…

Yeah, he’s a true (R)… 🙄 🤥

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.
