Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski joins Mary Ann Ahern of NBC 5 to discuss the upcoming “Workers’ Rights” Amendment, also known as Amendment 1. Dabrowski pointed out, “The more powers you give the government unions to negotiate over taxpayers, the more it’s going to cost.” And that, “It’s hard to imagine how property taxes will ever come down. You can only see them ratcheting up.”
While NBC5 characterized Wirepoints as opposing the Amendment, as a non-profit research and analysis organization, Wirepoints cannot and does not hold a position on ballot initiatives. Instead, Wirepoints is educating the public on the impacts Amendment 1 could have on Illinois. Wirepoints also aggregates news on both sides of Amendment 1.

Audio and summary 
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
This is a gift to all unions in Illinois, and the Democratic party. We will all be paying union dues…the Chicago way, it lives on…
Hello? Hello?
Workers rights are protected by federal law – why are the unions pushing for a change to the state constitution.
I smell a rat. Kinda like the ones displayed at strikes – big hairy ones.
“Worker’s rights” but no right to work.
