If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.

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.

It’s time to move. There’s no way I would pay for that through my taxes. If I couldn’t move I would homeschool. Whatever I had to do I would get the hell out of that school and that District.
We will see what is left of (any) public schools in an area where many do have the financial ability to have a school choice.
Your reply might apply apply more readily to many places, but it seems odd to make it in reference to a wealther suburb such as Hinsdale. Citizens there do have school choice to some extent as they do almost everywhere in IL, but if history is any clue they are greatly supportive of the Hinsdale schools systems if passage of bond referenda and school budgets are any clue. Complain they do of course, but still they routinely support their public schools.
School Choice now!!!
Or move out of Illinois and defund it.
Simple as that
Those who stay and pay are enabling this madness.
That’s what we are doing. We are not in Hinsdale but a similar district. We were horrified when we saw what our kids were learning.
Just keeps getting worse. School Districts are examples of the worst managed government entities ever. We could give them all the money in the world…and it still would not be enough. In the name of being woke and apparently trendy…creating this position, paying this money and providing the matching stupid pension is a crime. Where could they spend that money better? almost anywhere.
It’s a shovel-ready infrastructure job…shoveling bulls**t
