It’s that time of year again in the Windy City and we’re not talking about spring being in the air. The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is negotiating with the city for a renewal of their contract. Keep in mind that these negotiations are taking place just as the city is being overrun with migrants and facing a potentially crippling budget shortfall. But that’s not slowing the roll of the CTU one bit. They are calling for an increase of $50 billion (with a “b”) over their previous contract. They claim that the eye-watering figure is needed for another round of raises for their members and a wide range of new freebies including fully-paid abortions for teachers and new LGBT programs and training in the city’s schools. As you’ll see in this report from Fox News, they are making these demands when the total tax receipts for the entire state of Illinois last year were only $50.7 billion.
