IL House adjourns. No action of SB512. Back November 29th. Is it the shoes?

November 10, 2011

The Illinois House adjourned on what was supposed to be the last day of the veto session.

They took no action on the Cross-Fahner pension killing SB512.

Was it the shoes?

The teacher emails and phone calls?

Did they run out of time?

I’m sure we will hear more. But like a bad case of November cough, they’ll be back.

November 29th.

Just keep sending those emails at the pension site at http://www.ieanea.org.

- Breaking: Bonaparte's Retreat -- Karen Lewis and CORE Win Big
  Friday, May 17th marked another dark day for Emperor Rahm and his patrons. Karen Lewis and her CORE Caucus have emerged victorious in a landslide victory (80%) over the Rahm/CPS-backed Whatsername Caucus (Sorry but their names still escape me).Lewis and the CTU have been leading the charge against the mayor's massive school closing plan and have organi […]

- An IEA explanation of the "language amended into SB 2404"
  “There have been questions raised about language amended into SB 2404, the Cullerton-Coalition legislation. This amendment was not a surprise to the members of the labor coalition. The coalition remains committed to the passage of SB 2404. The amendment clarifies the law with regard to retiree access to health insurance through the State.“Maintaining access […]

- Let's Make A Deal: SB2404
  Let’s Make Deal: SB2404Quite honestly, I was at first befuddled when it came to choices as a retiree looking at SB2404. I’m not good at choices. I lose at Blackjack without fail.Could be worse. I could be an active teacher looking at SB2404. Thank goodness I’m not an active anymore. The spreadsheet on the IEA Fact Sheet reads like a graduate level test […]

- Quest for a Union-Friendly Mayor
  It's good to see UFT President Michael Mulgrew talking of mayoral dictatorship. Clearly, with 8 of 13 votes on the PEP, our fake school board, what Bloomberg wants, Bloomberg gets. Of course, this was apparent when mayoral control was established in 2002. At that time, the UFT supported it, perhaps even enabling it. As if that weren't enough, we su […]

- Why Vote CORE
  I have no doubt that CORE is going to win the CTU election tomorrow. I don’t say this as a supporter, but I say this as somebody who believes in the teachers of this city and believes they will do what’s best for themselves and the students in their care. However, winning isn’t really enough. […]

- Latest "Chiefs For Change" Fail: Bowen in ME #2
  I just posted about Maine "Chief For Change," Stephen Bowen, and how he's had to back off on plans - written by his patron, Jeb! Bush - to fast-track for-profit virtual charter schools into the state. Before we move on to another state and another CFC Fail, however, let's take a moment to enjoy the twisted logic of Commissioner Bowen: Sec […]

  Notes by Donald March, chapter leader of Christopher Columbus HS Bronx Mayoral Forum. May 8, 2013. Christine Quinn, Bill DeBlasio, Bill Thompson, John Liu As has been the case at these forums or late, Christine Quinn arrives ahead of the pack and is allowed to speak and take questions first. She is a rather forceful […]

- Bloomberg’s Advice: Skip College, Be a Plumber
  Now this is an interesting idea that needs to be deconstructed. Mayor Bloomberg, reputedly worth $20 Billion, suggests that some young people should skip college and be a plumber. On one hand, that’s good advice for young people who are not interested in going to college. Many, even some who should go to college, can’t […]
