Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

The List just keeps going and going. Housing? They really want the tax payer to pay for their friggin housing? Time to close the CPS and start over.
The answer is to put the power of choice back into the parents’ hands: Vouchers!
CTU is neither a union nor teachers. They are a political and terrorist organization. Since only 4 in 10 CPS students function at grade level then cut CTU members pay by 60%. That’s about right I think. Bust this union now. School vouchers for all.
I did not see anything about making sure the kids can read-do math or write at grade level. Oh Well. Maybe the next contract or the one after that.
It’s a teachers’ union. It is for the benefit of teachers, not students. Raises, benefits, etc. are not tied to job performance. Teachers live in this kind of Fantasyland, made possible by the taxpayers who fund it and elect teachers’ union officials as Mayor. Citizens of Chicago get what they voted for. Children have no place in this discussion.
