Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.

The professor emiritus’ SURS pension is $121,716.
The pension ruling from the ILSC was 7-0. 4 D’s and 3 R’s. It was unanimous. Zero disagreement. The ILSC ruling for retiree benefits (Kanerva) was 6-1, with the only dissent coming from a democrat. But sure, electing republicans will help. Too funny.
Somehow I think the professor knows this but is spreading this line to help garner support from fellow public employees to turn out for democratic judges. At a certain point, voters that fall for this stuff have no one but themselves to blame.
And Biden was against abortion before he was for it; same for gay marriage, student loan forgiveness and crack-cocaine laws. Elected officials see which way the wind is blowing.
These republicans will be better than the last ones. I promise. Just give us another chance. This time it will be different Charlie Brown.
Hahahahaha!!!
Do your thing, downstate county clerks. In a democracy, every vote counts, even the unpostmarked ballots lacking signatures arriving up to 14 days after election day. They must be counted. And to not count those late arriving duplicate absentee straight republican ticket ballots from nursing homes, elementary schools and cemeteries, makes you a racist.
