It’s Charlie’s website.
A couple of years ago I complained to IEA Communications Director Charlie McBarron about the IEA’s website linking to a faux news item attacking the Michigan Education Association. The item was planted by the Mackinac Center, a right-wing anti-union website.
McBarron responded with a full-throated defense and counter-attack.
He defended the In the News feature although he sorta, kinda agreed that they probably, sorta, maybe made a mistake in publishing something attacking our union brothers and sisters in Michigan.
However, over the years McBarron has made it clear that it’s his website. Not the members. I stopped

The in box. Mayor Emanuel. It has always been a revenue problem.
Read the rest of Glen Brown’s blog post here.I am tired of listening to talk-show hosts and their distinguished guests that omit the most significant facts about public pension plans in Illinois. First, anyone who talks about budget deficits should begin with these statements: The public pension systems were not and are still not the blame for the State of Illinois’ budget deficits. As a matter of fact, the lack of revenue across the country today was caused by the theft of billions of dollars by speculators and bankers in the private sector; moreover, in Illinois, they were caused by state policymakers’ only consistent legacy: their irresponsibility and incompetence
