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.”
ComEd gotta pay Madigan’s legal fees so rates increase is needed.
Biden’s double-digit inflation now working it’s way into the period cost structure of utility’s.
Let’s see, Comed paid a $200 million dollar fine for the Madigan shakedown and now wants to charge customers $199 million more. Got it!
It never ends. What will it cost to charge an EV in 4 or 5 years from now when more people will have them or worse when we are mandated to buy one. I believe in Washington state by 2030 everyone will be required to have a EV.
A person called into C SPAN a week ago and said the cost to charge a high end Tesla at home in California was between $34 to $60 and higher at public stations. Not sure how true that is.
