I'm grew up in Philadelphia and everyone went to Catholic school so you didn't need to deal with the public school system. I don't live in the city anymore so not my problem

>Can't pay because the tax collection system is borked
Sounds like it's not the school system's fault. Obviate the late fees, for a start.

Anyone dumb enough to waste their life trying to (((educate))) feral city niggers doesn't deserve a pension anyways.

But I guess you can rank them on graduate statistics of former students and reduce payouts on performance metrics.

Abolish public school

Nothingburger. Don’t care.

The article has nothing in it I want to read

What's the point of spending 150k a head or more per year to put niggers through school? They biologically cannot comprehend any concept that school should teach.
They should either be sent back to a reservation in Africa or put straight into an army infantry battalion until they are 45.
They'd be happier too.

You have to have an IQ above 80 to serve.

lol OP. I live in Chicago and have done business with CPS on multiple occasions. I've even been asked to leave meetings I was invited to so others could do things behind closed doors.

Because of the severe levels of political patronage and corruption, drastic measures are needed. Chicago used to reward political stewards with City and Streets and Sanitation jobs. Now its non-teaching CPS positions.

The rot runs deep. The hole cannot be plugged from within, or by the State of Illinois. The only way to plug the hole is to invite the feds/Trump in to comb through CPS and CTU records. The resulting scandals should be enough to void budgets.

Please tell us more about the corruption in Chicago! What do you mean be scandals?

raise taxes and cut spending.

at the federal level, we should really do away with social security. social security disability can stay. get fucked, boomers.

i get that there's a late fee because it's money that could be generating an investment return on the pension fund, but it's also made up nonsense. pass some sort of law that temporarily reduces payments to the pension recipients.

>While property taxes have been late in the past, the latest delay, due to a computer glitch, comes at a tenuous time. More work is needed before tax bills can go out as various agencies in Cook County work on replacing a 50-year-old system for property taxes, according to a spokesperson for the county.

did they put pajeets in charge of this?

Irrelevant, here's the Chicago answer: pay black people more money, hire more niggers, don't prosecute niggers, and blame Whitey. We wuz kangz n sheeit muhfugga bixnood

>What do you mean
Not following hiring guideline
Purchasing (kick backs, the Chicago Classic)
Theft
Contracting
etc

Alot of the business done wouldn't hold up to FEDERAL scrutiny

>>60859198
What has been your personal experience? I've seen the corruption go hand in hand with my alderman refusing to show the TIF vote until recently

>>60859353
1. Rescinding signed contracts to transfer (indirectly) to politically friendly entities
2, Shady deals with vendors
3. Play for play

CTU is another ball of worms. They literally give the Mayor $2 million of union dues, lol.

Whomever voted this current mayor in probably doesn't see the light for the shadows the political machine plays. Chicago is losing it's moneymakers all the while people who profit off the carcass move elsewhere.
