-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
"Whatever job you hold, can you imagine how ecstatic you’d feel if your employer told you today that you’d be making nearly one-third more than you are now after four years? Guaranteed money in the bank. No goals to hit. No pressure to perform. ... Unless (Mayor Brandon) Johnson shocks everyone and joins (Gov. JB) Pritzker et al. in telling CTU the truth, Chicago has the unprecedented misfortune of not even having a mayor representing taxpayer interests in this travesty."

Of course BJ will picket himself. BJ is not the mayor of Chicago. BJ is the mayor for the vermin of CTU. Everyone else can pound sand. BJ has one job and that is to steal, borrow, grift and thieve as much money as humanly possible into the pockets of the CTU parasites. BJ doesn’t give a fig about Chicago and only cares about his bottomless greed.
He definitely will join in!! Bj is one and done in Chicago and needs his ctu job back! This guy don’t care about the optics he’s getting paid now and wants to make sure he’s got a spot on the team when he’s fired in 3 years. It’s all about the money
Another dynamite trib editorial, clearly making the case for how extreme CTUs demands are….AND makes Karp, Issa, Chalkbeat writers look incredibly bias towards continually trying to lagitamize CTUs crazy demands. Why are those writers so adverse to simply informing thier reader CTU is already highest paid in nation, etc??
