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.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.

I was reading the comments at Cap Fax. The legal acumen of that crowd is amazing. They read the bill, they think it’s great, any problems with the bill is just ‘misinformation’ and Republican lies. These people are really dumb, and they’re so dumb, they don’t even know how dumb they are. I know I live in a bubble, I have to so I can stay sane in an insane world. But they live in the insanity and have no idea just insane they really are.
Finally Illinois finds a solution to the declining population problem; start a program that will attract all the criminals to move there.
Those states attorneys in those counties are dealing with the everyday violent crime problem in the state. The repeat offenders, the second, third, fourth, tenth chance courts. A parole and probation system that is laughable. Pritzger and his ilk who pushed SAFE T to the front of their agenda sum up their feelings about these prosecutors, RACISTS!
Only half? Let it go through then and let the Illinois voters reap the rewards of their voting.
