NEW: Equable Institute report shows Illinois' pension crisis is the worst in the nation. Public pension funds ended FY2023 with an estimated $210 BILLION in unfunded pension liabilities. 🧵

While Pritzker ridicules those who point out his failures, @illinoispolicy is developing solutions to turn the state around. We've published a budget plan that would actually put IL on sound footing and foster an environment where families can thrive. https://t.co/UZTfDqk7m1

@GovPritzker derides those who disagree with his policy choices as "backseat bellyachers" in his annual State of the State address saying they "make a profession out of rhetorically tearing down Illinois." But let's look at Pritzker's own record for the state.

Meanwhile, government has added 14,900 jobs in that time. Nearly 30 govt jobs for every private sector job added. Illinois is a great place to work... if you work for the government.

NEW: The Chicago metro area now has the highest unemployment rate in the nation at 6.2%. And fewer Chicagoans have jobs today than when Brandon Johnson took office. Stunning analysis from @BryceTHill @illinoispolicy ahead of the DNC.

@realEstateTrent Here’s a primer on the leading factor: Chicago’s pension crisis. Pension debt is a tremendous issue statewide, but particularly in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. https://t.co/WPzvNHl4dT

This will make housing in Illinois more expensive; i.e., more unaffordable.
Increasing demand for owner-occupied housing while doing nothing to increase supply is bad for the housing market and those looking to access it.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Every Illinoisan deserves the opportunity to become a homeowner.

My administration is committed to helping overcome the financial barriers of owning a home.

With @ILHousing, we're offering those who otherwise wouldn't be able to $10,000 to help buy a home and put down roots.

@jordanbpeterson It is real.
I competed in debate in college, was fairly successful and won a few smaller tournaments.
My first large debate tournament experience was filled with competitors who spoke like this and made every topic about race/gender/sexual orientation.
That’s when I quit.

On Canada Day we celebrate, mostly, that we are not America.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

If America would embrace capitalism and reject cronyism

in health care, agriculture, military contracting, insurance, media, technology, and banking,

we would experience a renaissance unprecedented in human history.

This checks out

[Chicago Tribune @chicagotribune]

Mayor Brandon Johnson's selection for interim head of the Chicago Department of Buildings is a city official who was found negligent for her role in the botched 2020 implosion of the old Crawford coal plant that covered Little Village in dust and debris.

The *perception of who actually pays the tax will have two negative effects:

Seller (current owner) will raise rent today in anticipation of future lower sales price due to increased tax.

Buyer will pass that tax along to tenant because he won't see it baked into sales price.
