Ted was on The Chicago Way with John Kass and Jeff Carlin to discuss the proposed $5 billion lakefront stadium project proposed by the Chicago Bears & Mayor Brandon Johnson, why Chicago is struggling compared to other metro areas across the country, why the city might or might not go the way of Detroit, and more.
Some Illinois lawmakers continue to deny that covid aid and other federal stimulus bailed the state out of its fiscal mess. But a look at past and projected revenues from COGFA shows just how much the bailouts blew out the state’s revenues. And now that they’re over, how much harder it will be for Illinois revenues to grow.
Election integrity – both real and perceived – is essential to government’s legitimacy and stability. Illinois, like the rest of the nation, better fix its problems now.
Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about Chicago’s latest bond offering, why Chicago’s dismal home value growth is due to poor policies, the next $70 million to be spent on migrants, the 9% salary hikes demanded by the CTU, and why Illinois lawmakers voting to stop Chicago’s selective enrollment schools from being closed is hypocritical.

Yep, and JB is U-Hall’s salesman of the year. BJ, Kimmy, and Kwame get honorable mentions.
You know what’s next.
Anti-migration Illinois will ban U-Hauls stopping in residential areas.
If that doesn’t work, border crossing gates. Show us your papers!
This is wishful thinking. They want you to leave, deplorable. They want you gone. A progressive, inclusive utopia has NO ROOM for deplorable scum like yourself.
Plus, they need you to leave because the illegals will need housing, their children will need your children’s desks in class, and you, deplorable, are sucking up valuable resources that need reallocation to the illegal immigrants.
This is not hyperbole or exaggeration. That’s why Democrats lie about people fleeing the state, while they obviously are. They hate you so much they won’t even acknowledge that you are leaving, because you don’t even deserve that.
I denounce myself for not extolling the virtues of the glorious State!
Here’s to the success of the next 5 year plan and to the New Illinois Man!
