Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Gov. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
Secret dealings using future taxpayer monies – something doesn’t seem legal about any of it.
Meanwhile, in North Carolina…

I can’t imagine how this already sweet deal was made sweeter.
Why just the other day I read here an article that the Stellantis offer was something they could not walk away from and we all know the overall details of the Chinese plant making me think that Pritzker will spend the taxpayers’ very last dollar to pay a plant to be here. To him it is about headlines for future national elections and for the citizens it is just more tax money down the hole.
“Pritzker declined to comment on the amount” of the incentive package — the bribe taxpayers will pay to get this. WTF? Demand and answer.
Maybe he or some family member will get a lot of Stellantis stock in exchange for the incentive package. This is good news for Belvidere with potentially 3,000 jobs and the new construction of the WalMart and Pillsbury cold storage facilities each over 1M sq. Ft. Also they are building and will build a hotel and other small projects at the I-90 Genoa Rd exit.
Plus if you are aware Toyota will have a solid state battery that can get 700-900 miles with a 10 minute charge.
