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.
Bullshit. They must have changed the internal standards and definitions. My friend was mugged on the street at Wabash and Adams at 3PM. Friend in LP has had two muggings in her alley. Another friend held up at gunpoint at Southport and Diversey put in a car and shuttled from ATM To ATM with a gun in his side. People will tolerate a lot of bullshit and there is plenty, but they will not tolerate not feeling safe.
I, too, am very, very suspicious of these numbers. Hope somebody has a way to check what’s really going on.
…”REPORTED” is the operative word.
