Pension Call Tuesday. « Fred Klonsky:


Pension Call Tuesday.

From Todd Mertz.
What: Rally at Rep. Tom Cross’ Office
When: This Wednesday, May 23rd 4:00-6:00 p.m.
Where: 540 W. Lockport St.  Suite 204  Plainfield, IL  60544
Why: Cross has been teachers’ worst enemy.  Cross told me personally in Springfield that Ty Fahner and the Civic Committee were involved in writing the horrendous SB512 which eventually did not have the needed support, but may resurface in a similar form anytime.  He is working hard to throw teachers under the bus while protecting his wealthy friends of the Civic Committee and Civic Federation.   
During the rally, Dennis Grosskopf, President of the Minooka Education Association, will be delivering petitions to Cross’ office.
