Mayor Johnson discusses crime, budget deficit, sanctuary city lawsuit after church chat – ABC7 (Chicago)

The Chicago Teachers Union wants Gov. JB Pritzker to allocate more than $1 billion to CPS. Johnson supported that move on Sunday during his church discussion. "The city of Chicago and districts across the state are not fully funded by the state of Illinois," Johnson said. "It's one of those areas where I'm gonna need more people to get active, to challenge not just city government, but the state government as well to fully fund our schools, because the crisis that we are experiencing is a crisis of the result of failures of the past."

I’m guessing this is BJ’s definition of “fully funded”: fund to continually allow an excessive number of employees, excessive number of offices, excessively high salaries, excessively high benefits, and projects of questionable or no value. The more bloat there is, the better. The more taxpayer abuse there is, the better.
