A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
He doesn’t run the union – the union runs him.
Mayor Brandon Johnson: I don’t run unions; I run the City of Chicago…into the ground!
CTU is a left political activist group. Not a union. CTU cares about power, money, and politics. They don’t care about students education, or teachers. Why else would Gates and others in CTU leadership send their kids to private schools? Teachers should take back their union from Gates and company.
Mayor Cliff Notes doesn’t run the CTU, he only acts on their behalf.

Milwaukee songwriter Willie Porter summarizes CTU’s strategy in grooming, running, and controlling Johnson. And his strategy packing the school board for CTU.
“Some say I need a driver
A Nixon mask and gun
But let me tell you brothers and sisters
That’s not how you get a bank job done
You can’t walk in there brazen
With an Uzi like Patty Hearst

On the board of directors first
Oh, that’s how you rob a bank”.

The Unions run him… :-/
