All of this is happening because PROMISED PENSIONS continue to GROW and CONSUME more and more of the budget.

To say it simply: THE SHIP IS SINKING.

I can think of one way to cover the cost. They could implement a new “Tattoo tax” on students. LOL

CPS needs a bailout from the city. The city needs a bailout from the state. The state needs a bailout from the feds. This will not end well.

Well, good thing that last night’s winner of the Mega Millions is in Illinois. His/her winnings will no doubt be happily donated to this cause.

I wasn’t even that curious. Head of the worst managed school system in the USA is a lock to be in government. He already was OK with waste, corruption, and inefficiency, so he was a perfect fit.
