  4. And yet the Trib and Crain’s continue to love to run their content. I wonder what the Illinois Policy Institute’s 2023 filing will look like - they had $2.5 million deficit in 2022.

  7. If you’re anti-government, aren’t you glad grants are severely down? Asking for a friend.

  9. They should try living within their means.

  10. You’d think the 5 financial genius Wirepoints staffers would be able to figure out how to make that 294 grand in revenue cover their own 534 grand payroll.

  11. Sigh, I put the banned thing–Dabrowski & Glennon also loaned the organization around $35,000 each. Going great over there.

  12. Always nice to have a good news post to cheer us up.

    Comment by Keyrock Thursday, May 30, 24 @ 3:21 pm

  13. Have they considered selling the Thompson Center?

    Comment by Michelle Flaherty Thursday, May 30, 24 @ 3:24 pm

  14. The loan repayment plan is a ramp that gets them to 90 percent funded in 2045.

    Comment by Michelle Flaherty Thursday, May 30, 24 @ 3:27 pm

  15. Any predictions how long they will last?

    Comment by Mason County Thursday, May 30, 24 @ 4:07 pm

  16. 5 stars for the headline *****

  17. Perhaps they can sell a few subscriptions to Richard Uline or spend the last few on a seminar by Miami Dan on how to get money from Richard without showing any success.

  18. Even with prevailing wages and mounds of cash pouring in from all those gas tax hikes, the union-funded Illinois Economic Policy Institute also reported a loss in FY 2023.

  19. - the union-funded Illinois Economic Policy Institute also reported a loss in FY 2023. -

    It seems like you might have left out a few details. Would you care to provide the dollar amounts for the readers who aren’t inclined to follow the links?

  20. Maybe if they put “grand bargain” in One of the revenue lines it will pep things up some?

    Comment by JS Mill Thursday, May 30, 24 @ 7:48 pm

  21. ===also reported a loss in FY 2023===

    lol

    Nice try. Now explain the death spiral.

  22. Surly this kind of reckless spending is not sustainable.
