On Wednesday, July 1, Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that the required repayment of $634 million to the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund would require cuts to schools of some $200 million resulting in the layoff of as many as 1,400 school personnel. Rahm, Rauner, Ruiz and the corporations and bankers they represent want to pit students and their families against dedicated teachers, PSRPs and clinicians who have devoted their careers to education and have a right to a secure retirement. We must say NO! CPS has a revenue problem, not a pension problem. CPS is broke on purpose!
