RT by @ChicagoContrar1: I wonder what Honest Abe would think about a gas tax that goes up automatically every year. If elected officials believe taxes should increase, they should have to stand before the people and vote for it. That’s what accountability looks like. Juliana Stratton has been part of the Springfield leadership that put these policies in place. Now she’s asking voters to give her an even bigger leadership role in Washington. I don’t think we’ve seen the kind of results that deserve a promotion.

Sign up to phone bank, door knock, display a yard sign, or walk a parade: https://www.votejenniferdavis.com We can’t do this without YOU!🇺🇸

Leave it to @SSKedreporter to vomit up an article on the “need for Special Ed.” at CPS days after the Board of Education announces teacher layoffs. Karp is Stacy Davis Gates’ fixer in Chicago media.

RT by @ChicagoContrar1: NEW: Chicago’s Frederick Douglass Academy High School has 47 classrooms built to serve 1,008 kids. But only 27 students are enrolled there. And the school employs 28 full-time staff. At 3% utilization, it is the emptiest big-city school in the country, according to Chicago Policy Center research. A few more facts about Douglass: 🔘 100% of seniors are categorized as chronically absent, meaning they miss 10% or more of school days. 🔘 No 11th grader could read or do math at grade level in SY23-24. 🔘 The school cost $93,000 per student in SY23-24. In a school district where one-third of school buildings sit at least half empty, Douglass illustrates the consequences of poor facilities planning: fewer opportunities for students and higher costs for taxpayers. https://www.thelastward.org/p/chicago-is-home-to-the-emptiest-big
