They’ve bastardized both the prosecution process and policing – Wirepoints joins Chicago’s Morning Answer on AM 560

Wirepoints President Ted Dabrowski joined host Dan Proft on AM560, Chicago’s Morning Answer, to discuss the rise in violent crime and the drop in population that are paralyzing Illinois right now.

As an example, Proft and Dabrowski pointed to the Dec. 29 shooting of two police officers, one fatally, in Bradley, IL. One of the two suspects currently in custody has on his police record dozens of charges in Kankakee County and several active warrants for his arrest. Each time he was charged with a crime, he received No Cash Bond – and then failed to return to court.

Dabrowski questioned what responsibility the governor has in this bastardization of both due process and prosecutorial process.

“He has confused smart policing and prosecution with woke prosecution,” Dabrowski said, adding that the ludicrous outcomes will eventually have Gov. Pritzker backtracking.

Illinois’ rising crime rates may be one of several reasons that Illinoisans are leaving in record numbers. Illinois lost 114,000 residents in 2021 – nearly 1 percent of its total population, or the equivalent of the whole city of Peoria.

Other possibilities for Illinoisan’s exodus: rising tax rates, oppressive mandates and a heavy-handed style of government, Dabrowski explained.

“Those Census numbers – that’s a signal that things aren’t working across the board,” he said.

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.
