WINDY CITY WICKEDNESS Current CTU boss Stacy Davis Gates has laughably asserted that conservatives who criticize the union “don’t want Black children to be able to read,” and “that is literally a part of the oath that they take to be right-wing.”
Chicago is loaded with problems, many of which emanate from the city’s leadership.
It’s no secret that Chicago is a city with an abundance of woes. For example, Chicago has a massive pension debt and a forecasted $538 million budget shortfall for 2024. The cost of living in Chicago is 14% higher than the national average. Worse, violent crime, including assault, battery, violent robbery, and sexual assault, collectively rose in Chicago by 11.5% in 2023, making it the city’s most violent year in a decade, with an 18% increase since 2013.
