What. This guy raises taxes every chance he gets.

As @GovPritzker signs IL Budget, he’s asked about the Chicago Bears stadium and he says “We’re not going to do what Indiana has done and raise taxes”

First make them endure a 3 year long renovation on the highway connecting the regional capital to the busiest airport in the world. Nice. Then jam in bike lanes that no one uses and will reduce lanes for cars and buses all across the city. Good. Now allocate a billions dollars plus per mile to extend the Red Line to the least dense part of the city while the CTA is facing an existential crisis. Yes, perfect. Now shut down a handful of Northside streets and bridges all at the same time and keep extending the timeframe for completion. Excellent.

Portland’s budget is 8.5 billion compared to Nashville’s budget of 3.8 billion despite Nashville having like 50k more people

How on Earth are you spending that much and you can’t find anything else to cut before getting rid of a neighborhood’s only fire truck?

[Rafael A. Mangual @Rafa_Mangual]

Hang on… Chicago wants to attract more tourists. It has created a marketing campaign to do that; and, in order to fund it, the city is… making it more expensive to stay in Chicago by raising taxes on hotel rooms? Do I have that right?

@ClauDee02717698 @JBforThr33 @WyattzWorId SFO has a TSA approved contractor that does security, so they’re not TSA. Private company. Hence the short wait.

@TylerLaRiviere On one of the apps they use on their iPads, it has real time taxi time information.

@BMGoldstein @WallStreetApes I think I can vouch for DFW. Their rule is 10% and it seems to be followed (I am there 1-2 times a month).

[KC @kcw03]

DFW is the easiest airport in the country.
From walking off plane to inside of an Uber on my way in under 5 minutes.

[KC @kcw03]

@nilwxreports United obtained 5 more gates as of Oct 1 last year.

[KC @kcw03]

@MCCCANM Having a higher % canceled than delayed with no big ongoing wx events is crazy.

Please tell me the rest of Beck’s tattoo says “Cool J.”

[KC @kcw03]

@The_RealTyC @MikeScherr1 @Bossman_10K That route is unprofitable. It is part of the Federal Essential Air Service (EAS) Program. It is subsidized by the government. SkyWest Airlines gets about 7.5 million from the government to operate it every year.

The year is 2045. The college football playoff field has expanded to 128 teams. There are riots in the streets of El Paso after UTEP was left out for a UL Monroe team it beat earlier in the season.

[KC @kcw03]

@MCCCANM Also nice when you can deice at your gate and avoid the central deicing facility.

[Midwest Antiquarian @Eric_Erins]

I think everybody would be happier if they admitted they like hosting a dinner party once in awhile instead of flooding everybody’s calendars during an already busy part of the year.

[Janel Comeau 🍁 @VeryBadLlama]

LinkedIn bros trying to wrap their minds around the idea of shift work

[KC @kcw03]

@Flighty Or did they all show up to get the extra pay of working a holiday?

[KC @kcw03]

@Stuckey2 Still never been.
My treat next time.

[KC @kcw03]

@mattlindner Recommend Terry Black’s BBQ.
Brisket and Jalapeño sausage hard to beat.
