Letter: Bailey just telling it like it is

So the editorial board is all worked up over Darren Bailey's comments regarding Chicago. Why not just give Pritzker and the super majority in the General Assembly your endorsement now instead of waiting until October?

After all, businesses leaving the state, the population stagnant at best, high taxes and poor services, no improvement in the pension mess and massive urban crime along with a bill that takes effect in January to protect criminals and harm the public is nothing compared to bad mouthing a dying city and the brilliant politicians that have brought it to where it is.

And after he and all those giants of character and intellect in the legislature who got us into this mess win again and four years later, nothing improves and we have more crime, more companies and people fleeing and the pension mess unsolved you can look the other way and take no responsibility. What is that definition of insanity?

I know, Bailey is an "extremist" because he is against butchering unborn children up to the point of birth which this "enlightened" state allows. I guess it depends what the definition of an extremist is and who gets to define it.
