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.

No federal funding for students that day and cut the teachers salary a day.
Just a few years ago the Democrat party strongly condemned hate. Of course an exception was made for Donald Trump. Today the Democrats are the party of hate. Now the CTU has disguised hate by calling it “activism!”
The bottom line is too many students in Chicago Public Schools are not learning. Attendance is poor, too few are at grade level in math, science and reading. They will become adults one day unqualified to enter the job market. DEI, CRT and BLM will not serve as a job qualification!
No way. CTU is supposed to educate students, not indoctrinate them. CPS students can’t perform at grade level and are failing. CTU and CPS are supposed to educate, not protest. Fire every teacher who calls off, or lets students out of school to protest when these kids are supposed to be in school. If any student is injured, charge and sue the teacher and school.
Why weenie out so soon on your regiment? Let’s hang ‘em. You with me on that?
Sure another day off for teachers (too many to count) and another day of no learning for students. Excellent work CPS and CTU…way to focus on the purpose of school. Another wasted day. I am sure the Pinhead will approve yet another day of vacation for the over-worked school district employees and more activism taught to young students – preparing more Democratic morons.
