Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints
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.
Illinois sure screwed up with the Clinton County power plant some years ago and why would it be different today? According to Wiki “Due to inflation and cost overruns, Clinton’s final construction cost was $4.25 billion ($9.68 billion today), nearly 1,000% over the original budget of $430 million and seven years behind schedule.
Just the same old stuff warmed over
When the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine those little atoms keep on pumping out the juice.
Wow, Tribune sure has the facts wrong. IL has a moratorium on new nuclear. The legislature and Pritzker through CEJA recently merely extended the live of IL nukes until 2050 because there was no alternative.
Wrong facts? Or deliberate lies? We are talking about journalists at the Tribune here…
Excellent point.
When they were threatening to shut down Byron I asked, how are they going to provide electricity for that area? In all Pritzker’s bloviating I never heard an answer.
Does Pritzker have a big stake in back-up generators? In Illinois it will probably be a growth industry – assuming he doesn’t mess with natural gas too.
