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.”

Tourism in Illinois? People actually want to visit cornfields?
Tourism is completely dead now due to rampant violent crime. Have these idiots learned nothing from Cleveland and Detroit?
Keep jacking up fuel taxes and neighboring state tourism is what’s going to “rebound”. People will have to make choices about where to spend their “fun” money.
The only “tourists” that will come to Illinois will be people who moved to another state and then remembered that there is something they buried in their old back yard that they need to dig up and take with them
