BREAKING: 2027 4⭐️ prospect Brandon Mason Jr. has committed to Xavier per @LeagueRDY
The Albuquerque native and Link Academy product is a top-125 player in the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Illinois JB Pritzker said he would not raise sales taxes or toll roads fees to accommodate the Chicago Bears
So the Chicago Bears started working on a deal with Indiana
JB Pritzker then raised taxes and tolls anyway….. absolutely insane
- JB Pritzker repeatedly said Illinois would not raise sales taxes or tolls to pay for a privately owned stadium for the Bears
- Pritzker signed legislation that raised the sales tax in Cook County and the collar counties
- The Illinois Tollway, whose board is appointed by the governor; he is an ex-officio member, then proposed raising passenger vehicle tolls a 57% increase
You don’t hate Democrats enough
The Illinois Tollway collected $1.3 billion more than it needed for maintenance last year and they are still pursuing a 57% toll hike.
Why?
Because @GovPritzker needs to buy labor union support for a Chicago mass transit bailout and the deal he brokered involved making commuters pay the tab.
The deal also includes automatic inflation hikes starting in 2029 so state leaders never have to vote on raising your tolls again.
76% of the public opposed this in the comments, but naturally, the state is ignoring them.

Facts matter. They get $2 million pensions, 180 work days a year, 12 sick days per year that they can accumulate and cash out, avg salaries that exceed median incomes for their area, and tenure after 3 or 4 years. Illinois spends more per student than surrounding states with little difference in outcomes.
Gov. Pritzker’s and Illinois Democrats' financial masterclass:
✅ 57 tax & fee hikes since 201
✅ $77 BILLION in new burdens
✅ Most heavily taxed taxpayers in America
Results?
✅ S&P: WORST state rating
✅ Moody’s: WORST state rating
✅ Fitch: WORST state rating
13 consecutive years of being dead last, the longest streak in American history.
Highest Taxes. Lowest bond ratings.
Take a victory lap, @JBPritzker!
He's a financial wizard, I tell you. 🧙♂️💸
@IlliniJen The fat POS .@JBPritzker has never worked in his life. All of his wealth this slob has is due to his birth. Don’t ever expect him to give a shit about people living in our state. He only cares about getting power.
"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl."
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Joey Pagano?"
"Yes, Father, it is."
"And who was the girl you were with?"
"I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."
"Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?"
"I cannot say."
"Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?"
"I'll never tell."
"Was it Nina Capelli?"
"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."
"Was it Cathy Piriano?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?"
"Please, Father! I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself."
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?"
"Four months vacation and five good leads..."
JB Pritzker gave CPS school board member Emma Lozano's daughter a $250,000 grant for an "after school program" that went almost entirely to pay the Lozano family.
Why look into this? A few months ago, Mayor Brandon Johnson flew to the Vatican to sit next to the Pope. He brought a select few insiders with him—including Tanya Lozano, the daughter who runs this taxpayer-funded charity, Healthy Hood Chicago.
So, I pulled the charity's IRS records and voting file for the address. All of Emma's adult children and grandchildren are registered at the address. Frau?
@cowboy_t68213@IlliniJen It closed because the Mastersons, who were the owners, were retiring and they said no one in the family was interested in operating it.
Pritzker has given Illinois 57 tax and fee hikes and here they are. You can bet there will be more to come if he’s given a third term
Illinois haven’t you had enough?
