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.”

It was $4.39 at Casey’s by Beloit Memorial hospital. A new Kwik Mart opened across the street so probably a gas war for a while. By the expressway in Beloit $4.59 to $4.79
Gas at a Wisconsin station near me was $0.60 cents a gallon cheaper. 11 gallons @ $0.60 saved me $6.60. JB and the con men in Illinois will save me $2.00 when I buy 100 gallons. Do the math.
Thanks to the combined efforts of Biden and Pritzker – neither of whom have likely pumped their own gas in eons. Or paid for it with money they worked for.
