Chicago tour stop attendees demanded a full Green New Deal at the local, state, and federal levels: building green social housing in Chicago' $1 trillion of yearly federal spending on climate, care, jobs, and justice which includes equity, labor, and climate standards; and that President Biden take sweeping executive actions to combat the climate crisis. Attendees also spotlighted demands specific to a Green New Deal for Chicago Public Schools, including renovated green facilities, free, healthy lunches at Chicago public schools, electric school buses, including climate and environmental justice in curricula, and pathways to green jobs.

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.

Can’t wait to hear about these shysters’ Saturday/Sunday city-sponsored cable tv channel green ministry.
They lost me at the mask…
Shouldn’t these elected thugs be wearing hoodies along with their masks?
Masks mean you are a submissive. If you are wearing a mask, get on your knees and open your mouth.
They can’t find people to drive gas-powered buses, let alone electric ones.
Hahaha!
These economic illiterates haven’t yet figured out that the Biden Democrat high interest rates have killed the green economy. No one can fund the green boondoggle at these rates, so their dream of a Green New Deal is DOA.
Sorry gang, no more Fed dollars for you! The gravy train for these silly endeavors is grinding to a halt thanks to Dementia Joe spending trillions and blowing up the economy.
What a bunch of silly fools. Hw did we ever get to the point where nitwits like this get into office? And somebody should tell them there isn’t any Wuhan Virus risk anymore . Even The Science! The Science! says masks and lockdowns didn’t work.
Separation of church and state should apply to the Climate Clerics.
