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.
Absolutely right Crabcakes. Hero. Too bad we had no whistleblowers in our govt, and no one in our main media, exposing and divulging the corruption among the Democrats. GO TRUMPPPPPPP !!!!!!!
When Hillary’s crowned queen (which I still think is inevitable) will she demand Assanges head on a platter (and hacker in general)? Or just blame it on Putin? the role Wikileeks and hackers have played is the biggest story in this election.
Also, I’m not a Trump fan
What’s most interesting in exposing Clintons phony smile for what it, is the role plain old emails have played –and most specifically Wikileaks. Is Julian Assange from his exile in the Ecuador embassy in London a trader or hero? and if so for whom?? I say hero for me.
