In Omaha, as everywhere, money is a problem. So the mayor put out a budget that included something like $1.5 million to “fight truancy”. The population of the city, proper, is maybe like 400,000. How much truancy can there be? Why should the city pay for it? (My data could be “iffy” on this stuff, it is all IIRC.) Anyway, he just does NOT GET IT, and therefore a recall election is to be held on 1/25/11.

Perhaps Gov Quinn should just raise taxes in the counties he carried in the election.
That would be the BLUE ones.

That electoral map of Illinois is just stunning.
The average resident of your state is absolutely and
forever SCREWED by the enormous leech population of
Cook County.
