Chicago Teachers Union leadership used to be against public subsidies for a stadium. Now they’re supporting Brandon Johnson’s proposed giveaway to the Chicago Bears. What changed?
@Austin__Berg The property taxes alone on a $2.75B stadium would be about $110M per year. 57.5% of property taxes go to schools. Because it’s publicly owned, the revenue will be $0. That’s $63.25M per year taken from schools and given to billionaires. Congrats on selling out @CTULocal1.
This fails to capture the (AFAIK) central Illinois phenomenon of "sodee pop," which is the preferred term among family near Effingham.

@royalpratt That press conference was truly a sleight-of-hand magic act. Or, as @JoeFergChicago says, they’re trying to throw a fast ball through a car wash without it getting wet.
Every European country has various laws on the books that are just like “productivity is illegal now” and then people wonder why they are poor.
I sense something, a presence I’ve not felt since… the parking meter deal.
The Bears are likely to receive the “vast majority” of revenue generated at the proposed stadium. The specifics are being negotiated and the city and Park District won’t answer questions, despite Mayor Johnson’s support for the project. chicagobusiness.com/politics/bears… @CrainsChicago

Are these numbers completely made up from the Bears? The "creation" of 43 THOUSAND construction jobs? The $5B Lincoln Yards project claimed they would create "2500 construction jobs" over a 10-year period. This would create 17x Lincoln Yards likely exaggerated number? Come on.

If you are a “progressive” organization in Chicago and are finding it difficult to make a statement against giving taxpayer money to Billionaire stadiums then maybe you were never progressive to begin with

WATCH: A day of tension. Roughly 15 students, non-students & at least 1 professor arrested at Emory University today. Many calling out police tactics, while the governor defending law enforcement. You decide. Is this the America you want, because it’s the America you have.
I appreciate this. Contrary to what some have said, our problems are so much more than just a money/revenue issue. The transit agencies have had more funding than ever in history ($3.6B in emergency federal funding that is eligible for any use)…
With CTA, Metra, and Pace facing a $730M fiscal cliff, a key civic group says funding to save transit service should be tied to a merger of the three long-siloed agencies @wttw news.wttw.com/2024/04/25/muc…
Who is going to introduce legislation to allow the citizens of Chicago to vote on public funding requests over $1B? $500M? What petition do we need to sign to make this happen? It’s not the Bears proposal alone. We need better citizen led mechanisms for finances in our city.
This is the most insanely disingenuous line
