In response to William from Oak Lawn: his comment was about the sun not going dark during former President Barack Obama’s administration. I guess the sun revolves only around Democratic presidents.
“Compromise” sees to be a dirty word as far as the school funding bill and the Cook County Democrats are concerned. Normally, without knowing all the details, I’d agree that Cook County should get the largest portion because it has the largest amount of students; schools etc. However, the governor, common sense and the decades of past misuse by the “Chicago Machine” should warn us otherwise. I feel sure the governor would agree if not for that fact. Let’s face it, whatever the outcome, we, the taxpayers are going to foot the bill in addition to our “highest-in-the-nation” taxes. Gov. Bruce Rauner’s right. Put the money where it’ll benefit most and not wasted to misuse by “Madigan’s Mafia.”

If the Democratic Party is the party of the working man. Why is the working man asked to foot the bill on this soda tax?
