The only recall Illinois has is a measure to recall a governor, implemented after former Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested in 2008, but critics say it’s a high threshold. 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.

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.”
They technically do have that power.
Its called assassination. Now that said it should be the last resort but when we are dealing with elected officials that are so rotten, corrupt and do not serve the people at all then there is no other choice.
Hmmm…..Who sets the bar? The boilerplated shtbags, that’s who!
Does anybody out there think that the dumb ass voters in Cook/County/Chicago will recall a demoncrat they elected? Dream on.
Recall elections should be automatic every year — why give them 4 years to fail upwards
