Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Gov. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”

Like Nicor Gas price for May is $1.11 per therm compared to .53 cent/ therm last year which is still almost double from the year before at approx .28 cent. What concerns me is will these prices continue through the summer and increase even more during winter like it did last summer.
One guess is that when people switched over to LED lights consumers saved some money but utilities had reduced revenues so they raised prices to compensate.
One big problem, we dont have enough electricity now, renewables aren’t enough or for that matter even close how in the hell are we (they) the ones who own electric vehicles going to keep them charged. Rush rush rush with absolutely no plan in place typical Illinois politicians for ya, it seems like this is all headed towards the control demolition of the American people.
A neighbor of a friend of mine in Rockford bought 2 entry level Teslas. I suggested that he get some solar panels with a Generac power storage cell. Same friend just put in solar panels enough to generate power so that his bill should be $10-$15 dollars. Your right. No plans from so called leaders.
