The election of the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives represented by Representative Emmanuel "Chris" Welch marked the beginning of a new era in national politics. Not only was he the first black speaker in state history, but he was also the first speaker named Michael Madigan in 24 years.

But Welch believes that this gavel was an unstable period in state history. This period was marked by a fatal pandemic, which led to an economic crisis and a sharp decline in national income, as well as social inequality. During turbulent times, many of these pandemics made the situation worse.

The owner of a shopping mall called Chinatown Plaza has not paid more than $1 million in property taxes and interest for more than eight years. The money was used for the shopping mall’s bustling plaza and Archer Avenue in the booming Chinatown center. The paved corridor.

They said they didn't know any taxes owed before 2017. At that time, a humble Cook County government agency filed a claim against the County Secretary of the Treasury's Scavenger Tax Case and eventually acquired 62,000 square feet of public areas in the shopping mall, which were separated from the shops. And restaurants.

The Illinois General Assembly Retirement System (GARS) received only 16% of the funding.

Legislators may end the year this year, but this will cost taxpayers.

Like any political organization that understands how things really work, the Chicago Federation of Teachers also knows that the key to success is to express your message correctly.

To listen to the voice of the union, its task is to help children and their families. More teachers have more resources, school nurses and consultants, and sufficient financial resources to help families in need buy houses and put food on the table. Something similar.

Michael Madigan is now a member of the Illinois House of Representatives, and now the people of the state can dream of better leadership skills. But they will understand only when they ask timid lawmakers to reject the bad practices that Madigan has perfected in the Capitol for half a century. The new spokesperson Emanuel "Chris" Welch (Emanuel "Chris" Welch) expressed his support for moving in a new direction. Just wait and see.

Most voters understand that during the state legislature and the Democratic rule where Madigan is still chairman, Illinois has moved from a piece of land to a wreckage yard and urgently needs to be cleaned up. Once the strongest and most popular economy among outsiders in the United States, it is now a relatively chaotic job shortage, taxpayers fleeing and establishing companies and future employers in more hospitable states. The coronavirus pandemic has put the state in a more unstable state.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot (Lori Lightfoot) changed his communications director 100 days before he took office.

Now, it happened again, causing the question: whether the era full of crisis, coupled with Lightfoot's harsh management style, will make it difficult for her to retain good people.
