Randi Weingarten heads the American Federation of Teachers, which is the parent organization of the Chicago Teachers Union.
Summary and audio linked here.
Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

And who chose Randi Weingarten as the head of the American Federation of Teachers? The teachers themselves, of course.
Thank God I was educated by nuns and not that hag.
I think “She” might be a “He”.
I’m no beauty queen so I don’t normally comment on politician’s appearance like Hillary’s cankles or Pritzker’s morbid obesity……but Weingarten IS quite ugly. What a wrinkled round homely face. And it’s her best feature.
Most progressive women try to emulate this look. They intentionally make themselves repulsive and unattractive because they hate beauty and seek to destroy it, where ever it can be found. She is the humanized version of the Soviet post-war communist housing block. Intentionally made to suppress anything good in the world.
What a buffoon. Randi Weingarten is the Osama Bin Laden of teachers.
Forget outrage. These people deserve only laughter and ridicule.
