CHICAGO — With early voting starting soon, Brandon Johnson continues to show he is a tool of the Chicago’s Teachers Union with an our way or the highway approach. The mayor is firing Chicago Public School’s CEO Pedro Martinez after he fell out of favor with Johnson’s CTU allies at the cost of Chicago taxpayers to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Johnson and Stacy Davis Gates want our public schools to take on hundreds-of-millions of dollars in high-rate loans to fund their radical agenda. Johnson has been clear that he will prioritize keeping CTU over taxpayers by attempting to push out Chicago School Board members who disagree with him, all while his allies sling mud and twist arms to get his way.
This week is Brandon Johnson and the CTU v. CPS and Chicago taxpayers
Bottom Line: Brandon Johnson has shown us who he is – a mouthpiece for the powerful teacher’s union instead of an advocate for Chicago’s taxpayers.
This is how Illinois Democrats govern: disagree with them at your own peril.
