Illinois: The new leader in education reform - Chicago Tribune

On Monday, Gov. Pat Quinn signs what might be the most important piece of education legislation ever passed in Illinois. Unlike our neighbors in Wisconsin, Ohio and other states, stakeholders here worked together to craft an aggressive bill that makes our state the leader in education reform. At a time when many teachers understandably feel under attack, this bill celebrates effective teachers, recognizes their accomplishments and helps keep them in classrooms.


The U.S. Department of Education recently announced that Illinois will receive funding in the next round of Race to the Top this fall. Our state may be eligible for up to $30 million to help implement these laws.

Seems the Democrats in Chicago have decided to turn against unions. They have also gone after City-Workers pension funds and benefits. Thoughts?

"Avoid striking. It doesn't help the children, it doesn't help the families, it's not conducive. Just don't do it," said Illinois Senator Kimberly Lightford, (D)-Maywood. <<<<< The New Democratic philosophy. Still thinking the Democrats are the party you use to know. Lmao!

The dems see that this is the end, and they are panicking.

"Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago, where public schools face a $700 million deficit, says he will use the new law as tool when the CPS attempts later this year to negotiate a longer school day with its teachers union."

Lets not forget Democrats tied the City schools to Chicago Politics and Legislation.

Also Mike, Quinn passed the new redistricting maps.....hell Repubs had no chance to change anything In Illinois. Now after this new re-districting the Right has even less chances. lol The game these knuckle-heads play. Talking about underhanded tricks.....all one need do is look at the Democrats in Chicago.

Chicago isn't the Mafia capitol for nothing, hell their entire political structure is strong armed. It is also no coincidence that the "Ballet" major is the mayor for life.
