Exclusive: A 10x convicted felon escaped from electronic monitoring for days until he was finally found — in Gov. JB Pritzker’s back yard!
It appears his escape was not reported to a judge for days. Court rules call for notification within 24 hours.

@DarrenBaileyIL Illinois will never cease overspending. This is why people are leaving. We cannot and will not continue to pay for our politicians to raise our property taxes every single year. Many of us are on fixed incomes. In twenty years my property taxes have more than tripled. Enough!
Coming up to 4 weeks since she lost all power in her legs from poisoning.
Today little Espresso Martini did this.
I’m punching the air with happiness. It looks like we might get her back fully walking ❤️
A 4-time felon caught with 81 lbs of cocaine and $200k in cash in Grand Rapids, Michigan just got a "tremendous gift" at sentencing.
Instead of 14 to 23 years in prison, he got just ONE year in jail with NO probation.
The felon had even previously cut off his GPS tether and fled to Texas while out on bond. He will now be released before winter.
🚨 FLASHBACK: I called it. Bally's River North would fail. Lightfoot called me "full of crap."
I stood up and asked her the question Chicago deserved answered. Why ram through a casino most of the neighborhood didn't even want? Why promise it would revive tourism and conventions when violent crime — not the lack of a casino — was keeping people away?
She had no answer. So she attacked. Called my questions "lies." Snapped "you're full of crap" on camera. Threatened to have police drag me out of her own press conference. And on camera, her press secretary called me "an animal."
Bally's has failed to meet expectations since the day it opened. It just skipped its own earnings call. It couldn't deliver the jobs, the revenue, or the "revival" Lightfoot sold Chicago on.
So what did Bally's do? Hired Lightfoot's law firm. To sue the city. Over legal video gambling terminals — because Bally's can't compete without a monopoly.
And Johnson? He's not fixing Lightfoot's failure. He's protecting it. Pushing to repeal that same legalization to hand Bally's the exclusivity it never earned. He still doesn't have the votes.
A failing casino. Two mayors covering for it. And Chicagoans still waiting on the answers they tried to shut down. What a pair - Johnson and Lightfoot.
🎥 Watch the flashback. #thatreporter
🏘️ Property Tax: HIGHEST in the US
⛽ Gas Tax: 2nd HIGHEST in the US
🏢 Corporate Tax: 3rd HIGHEST in the US
We have a tax addiction in Illinois.
Thank JB Pritzker.
@paschutz Imagine a world where there were no more pensions. All Chicago Teachers were given a 401K. What a unique concept. No more property tax increases to pay for their woke and oh so powerful agenda. Kids might actually get a good education from teachers that really want to teach.
@EdKrassen I live in Chicago and many of the people I know appreciate the hell out of him and would vote for him again. Stop talking like you know what’s up. You don’t.
