Editorial: Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin boycotting U.S. Treasuries is a foolish political stunt funded by Chicago taxpayers – Chicago Tribune*

Chicago Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin, a candidate for the congressional seat held by Danny Davis, speaks during a candidate forum at Malcolm X College on Nov. 3, 2025. (E. Jason Wambsgans/Chicago Tribune)"If Conyears-Ervin wants to keep her own money out of Treasuries as a quixotic political protest, she is of course free to do so. But this $11 billion is not her money."

First of all its NOT her money.

Its the City of Chicago’s money.

I can only imagine the stooopid investments she makes with her money.

Don’t hire people fired for pressuring their underlings to do personal tasks and puts the squeeze on a bank to give her felon husband a loan as Ervin did. It seems IL loves officials being under a cloud of suspicion ( and outright crooks ) . Look for Jesse Jr. to be in office somewhere any day now.

Been made aware the Ervin wasn’t convicted of an assault on a police commander. Will do better in the future.
