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.

A room full of thieves, criminals, grifters and terrorists. Not a single teacher there. I can not imagine how horrifically disgusting that room must have smelled. Look into nearly any Illinois crime and you can find a CTU member near the core.
This delegate is so far gone that not only are they accepting Hamas numbers, but exact numbers. Not 3,600, not 3,650…3,648.
Great reporting on whats discussed in a CTU House Of Delegates meeting. The laundry list of CTU subjects covered includes every pseudo-socialist lib topics from killing Invest In Kids to teaching indigenous peoples history in place of Skyline and every $collective bargaining$ victory on the taxpayers dime…..and of course ZERO time devoted to abysmal reading & math scores. What else would one expect from are $equity hustle pseudo-socialist$ CTU heroes?
Second City Teacher/Vail inadvertently always does a great job giving incite into the self-serve world of $CTU$ on the taxpayers dime.
