State Rep. Jonathan Carroll Withdraws Bill That Would Have Required Willfully Unvaccinated To Pay Own Health Care Expenses If Hospitalized – CBS2 (Chicago)

‘Since taking office, I’ve always tried to have civil discourse with those who’ve disagreed with me. However, violent threats made against me, my family and my staff are reprehensible,” he wrote in the statement. “I hope we can return to a more positive discourse on public health, especially when it comes to this pandemic that has tired us all.”

Tread carefully! Just about anything can be construed as threatening!

His statements that violent threats caused him to drop his bill seems to be a Jussie Smollet. More likely, he was informed of the stupidity of his bill. Making the non vaccinated pay their own medical bills? How about smokers paying theirs? Or athletes voluntarily playing dangerous sports? Or the obese paying for their high b.p. or diabetic drugs? He obviously didn’t think this through and jumped on the condemn the unvaccinated bandwagon. “Violent threats” and “antiSemitism” claims are just a way to save face. (Who knew he was Jewish and what did that have to do with anything?)

We have an obsession with victimhood.

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.
