from Chicago Contrarian, The Podcast · host Chicago Contrarian
On today's episode, panelists will explore the meaning behind the "No Kings" rally in Chicago. What was the purpose, if any, and how many truly showed. Governor JB Pritzker poured cold water all over Mayor Johnson's proposed Head Tax. The governor, who is no fan of Chicago, claimed it's a job killer. Is Mr. Pritzker on to something? Chicago Teachers Union Grand Poohbah Stacy Davis Gates was elected to lead the Illinois Federation of Teachers. How will her assuming control over the IFT affect education statewide? How will suburban and downstate schools take to her style of leadership? Will Stacy do the same damage to state schools as she has done to Chicago public schools?
