-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Stacy sends her children to Private Schools for good reason.
Wow, Stacey at her best. Racism, rich people/corporations, Trump.
I could not finish her rant.
Not sure how charter schools work in other areas, But isn’t one of the causes of Charters failing in Chicago is that they are part of CPS.
What’s her thoughts on private schools…..oh that’s right.
The CTU exists solely for the enrichment of its members and staff members. Educating your children ranks far below their benefits and working conditions, indoctrination and the welfare of illegals.
Absolutely correct. PPF has told us many times that is the purpose of the teacher unions.
Unfortunately, they spent decades telling us they only wanted what was best for “the children”. And we were stupid enough to believe it.
We thought by voting for what teacher unions wanted, we were voting to put kids first.
Now they are laughing in our faces. And telling us if we don’t like it, we should move.
Gates is against charter schools because they expose CTU and make CTU look like the failure that they are.
The wheels have “been off” of public education for decades. In the recent years, the spending on education with no results has been obscene. Look in the mirror Stacy.
