Daily posts from a retired public school teacher who is just looking at the data. Glen Brown’s pension posts. Teachers (An art project). Notes from a dictator. August 12, 2015. August 12, 2015. Rauner’s campaign turn-around agenda to destroy public employee unions is clear enough. But his speechifying has gotten more and more incoherent.

August 11, 2015. August 11, 2015. Watching the state’s labor coalition cede leadership of the anti-Rauner movement to Democratic Party Chairman and House Speaker Michael Madigan reminds me of the old fable about the monkey and the crocodile.

Daily posts from a retired public school teacher who is just looking at the data. Glen Brown’s pension posts. Teachers (An art project). Rauner didn’t win. Quinn lost, says Madigan. He’s right. August 12, 2015. The conventional wisdom on Speaker Madigan is that he doesn’t really care about anything other than his own political power. I think that is a fair estimation.
