A set of state lawmakers want to extend CPS’ current school closing moratorium to February 1, 2027 – the same year CPS is set to transition to a fully-elected school board. That means schools like Manley High School, with capacity for more than 1,000 students but enrollment of just 78, can’t be closed for anther three years. The school spends $45,000 per student, but just 2.4% of students read at grade level.
Hopefully, all media will get the message, in Illinois, too.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about Illinois’ highest-in-the-nation property taxes, why lawmakers don’t want to touch the tax’s cost drivers, just how much Illinoisans’ tax burden has grown over the decades, why Gov. Pritzker failed to meet his promise to reform property taxes, and more.
What is says is that the rule of law is dead. That we are a city who proclaims the criminal a victim, and the victim the guilty.
That we care more about those who do harm that we do those who produce.
It is disgusting.
“The concentration of violence is in our cities. Those are the people who are most directly impacted.” Sorry Kim, you’re wrong, the thugs you’re letting loose are coming to the suburbs and committing crimes. Fortunately when they come to DuPage County we catch them and we lock them up, hopefully word gets around so they stay in Cook County.
Fox won WITH CHICAGO ILLINOIS FRAUD!
GFO with your kumbaya
No she didn’t. Chicago and the rest of Illinois are degenerates. The voted accordingly.
Shoplifters love Kim Foxx.
In suburban Cook, Kim Foxx 2020 underperformed Kim Foxx 2016 by 18 points. She underperformed Hillary by only 4 points but Biden by 20. How this can be spun as an “ even more important victory” is laughable. It’s embarrassing and she knows it.
It really doesn’t matter if she won.
It sure does unless your a cheesecloth
How does it matter? She’s still the prosecutor for the next four years and the best opportunity to remove her has been squandered. So how does it matter?
(And it is “you’re”. This is not difficult.)
