There was snow this morning, I am not cool with that.
Also the last week of the regular season for HS football.

One Man, the HS football season is the fastest 9 weeks of the year. Starts in the heat of late summer and ends with winter coats and snow flurries the last week of the regular season.
For me, Pritzker *needs* to show he can aggressively go after the *extreme* Bailey, no soft sell, show the stark and real Bailey and how his answers either are phony now, and/or how they are out of step with Illinois.
The school bit that Bailey gifted?
Here’s the sitch, for me;
Either take Bailey down, take him down with a well-prepared, snippet type shot that can be, in the end, the quote of the debate.
Or, fluff through a mumbling-bumbling “yeah, well, Bailey said” and lose the full impact of what a horrible take and quote Bailey gifted this race for Pritzker.
Do or don’t do. Make that school quote count against Bailey, or please move on from it.
“Governor Pritzker, you’ve had almost two weeks to tell the people of Illinois what change or changes you’d make to the SAFE-T Act, and you haven’t done so yet. Will you tell voters tonight what you’d ‘tweak’ you’d make to this very newsworthy legislation?”
I’m going to guess that the Safe-T Act might come up.

The cutting school funding policy by Bailey. Pritzker could paint a bleak picture of young people being undereducated and going directly to work in a red state economy of lower wages, anti-unionization, less safe workplaces, fewer benefits and job protections. Pretty bleak place.
SafeT Act, Bailey’s position advocating cutting education funding, inflation in some useless way, impact of Covid policies and Bailey’s continued anti-vax belief.
Wonder if they’ll remember to give each candidate their opening statement this time.
IMO, areas in rural Illinois which are losing population are suffering from denial by keeping very small schools and school districts open. Rather than consolidate to provide more efficient operation and expand class and extracurricular activities, they stubbornly keep their schools for often little more than civic pride. But every school and school district has requirements for staffing.. and with a declining and aging population I feel it is better to consolidate resources.
But, keep the status quo with small struggling schools and that opens the door to: private schools (banned punctuation).
Academic: definitely. Because the local “leaders” want their children and grandchildren to have the same “opportunities” they did.. without noticing that times have changed.

Agree. It’s a glass-jaw. And a 10 minute coaching session by phone from Pete Buttigieg could go a long way.

===the Safe-T Act===
Multiple polling has now shown a reality, crime isn’t moving numbers, only making folks who feel as they do… feel better.
It’s a waste of time, maybe? So, have at it.

Brings to mind the old adage that the hardest thing to get rid of in a small town is the school mascot.
