Keep voting for the same @$$hat$ and see if things get better .
Never mind ,, that’s what you’re doing .
I completely believe this. My sister works for a state government; she has a strong work ethic. However, she knows people who will show up in the morning, turn on their computer, then leave for hours. They are apparently “in the bathroom” LOL!
Do all government employees go to the same seminar where they learn to sneer at you, condescend to you, insult you and act irritated that you exist?
LOL!!
What a pathetic legacy this man has left.
Certainly not on President Trump's watch...unless there is something going on behind the scenes (i.e., welcoming aliens and sanctuary cities?)
The voters there get what they deserve. And I grew up in Chicago.
Illinois is a corrupt, one party, Democrat Party state.
What the author calls dysfunction is just standard operating procedure for the Democrat Party.
——dysfunction is just standard operating procedure-—
Function is not required if control of the money is maintained.
I hear those seminars are packed with DMV employees. Standing room only. LOL! ;)
Collectivism. When people are shielded from natural selection.
Sounds just like Kalifornia
Among many issues, the glass used for the exterior was less than design specifications, to cut costs.
This added to the air conditioning demands, massively.
Besides cooling the AC acts like the defrost in your car to remove condensation from the windows, unfortunately, this one does not.
The condensation drips on everything, now mold grows on everything.
IIRC the AC system was replaced in year one, at a huge cost. Replacement glass is more than the building is worth.
Rauner has wanted to dump it from day one.
He lacks the muscle.
Form over function.
Great post!
Increasingly, Los Angeles Unified School District is the same.
That's exactly right -- Chicago and the other urban machines. I grew up in St. Clair County, and the Democrat machine there was Chicago on a smaller scale. What is interesting is that, at least on statewide and congressional races, that area has gone Republican the last few elections. County offices and state legislative offices are still all Democrats.
Illinois used to have proportional representation, in which there would be three reps elected from each legislative district -- two from the majority party, one from the minority -- and that at least guaranteed, say, Republican voters in Chicago would have a voice. I believe that went away with the most recent constitution. I used to be in touch with a guy years ago who wanted to revive that, but it never really got off the ground.
Spent a lot of time in Chicago in the last 20 years. Probably had Illinois withholding about a 25% of the pay periods. Glad I didn’t have to pay the property taxes, I was a fly-in / fly-out guy. It is amazing how much the people there pay from public employee pensions and featherbed employees. Its like 15% of everything you make forever if you add in all the taxes.
Pot. Frog. Boil.
And they like the system. I know people that shouldn’t be Dems but are due to the decades and family ties invested in the machine. It is loony tunes.
Yes, that’s the building.
Can I go against the grain here and say that the article’s writer is a TOTAL DEFEATIST. The system depends on people like her because the article lists not on thing that she did to improve the rotten system.
FWIW, here is more on One-Man-One-Vote.
Progressing the Constitution: One Man One Vote.
