"I'm not going to be part of the narrative of Lady Macbeth to a Black man that doesn't have a brain. Like, that ain't my role. My role is to run the Chicago Teachers Union," Davis Gates said. She said for anyone to think otherwise is racist and sexist.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

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.

“That ain’t my role”, blah blah racist blah blah sexist. Keeping the negiotations productive and intelligent as always.
Con artists and grifters. Nothing these people do has anything to do with teaching or anything about enhancing the education of the children. Their entire focus is leveraging more money for themselves…of course filtered (laundered) through the department of education and CPS. The “programs” they site may have fancy-positive names, but rest assured the money will end up in the pockets of a select few and do nothing for the betterment of the children or tax payer.
Like this one is an educator. She’s like teaching kids.
Mayor Little (Johnson) will be like “Sure!” to all her expensive demands.
Gates was like, “Anyone who dares ask about paying for all this is a racist and a sexist!”
The worthless Chicago media will be like, “Anyone who dares ask about paying for all this is a racist and a sexist!”
And the chumbolone taxpayers can go like screw themselves and like pay up.
Remember how Brandon spent all that money on his Capital One credit cards and then stopped paying the minimum balance? It wrecked his credit and then he got sued.
That’s exactly how he and his ilk are handling the city’s treasury, and it will end the same way too.
“Davis Gates acknowledges the new contract will be costly. She is hoping the city can help pay for it with Johnson’s new investment strategy that moves away from the Tax Increment Financing Program, known as TIFs.”
KA-BOOM – They have already carved it up.
Biggest take away from Stacy speech, is CTU is already planing to use CTU/Brandons plan to to borrow $1.25 billion “to fund affordable housing and economic development” from TIF tax base to fund CPS (CTU) instead. But I guess forget about any affordable housing or anything else, if CTU gets it’s way the $bucks$ are all headed into the pockets of guaranteed deal upper-income majority white CTU members once you get passed all the equity hustle bs.
If any of these deals are passed, if you buy in to CTU plotting behind the scenes to see to it that a $1.25 billion bond “to fund affordable housing and economic development” deal borrowed against TIF funds ends up in CTU pockets, then you have to assume any BCH tax revenue will end up in the pockets of CTU as well?
She’s asking for the moon and she will get my big moon
BCH?
