Mayor Johnson’s $1B TIF sweep to CPS isn’t “investment”; it’s a fiscal Ponzi scheme. The 4.78% levy hike adds insult to injury, squeezing homeowners already crushed by 17% tax spikes while CPS burns $23.6M on camel rides in Egypt and Finland “professional development.”

This isn’t about schools—it’s about unelected boards exploiting loopholes to bypass PTELL caps, robbing families without a vote. When bureaucrats claim “federal funding cuts” as justification, remember: CPS’s own audit found $339M in negative cash flow due to reckless spending, not austerity.

The system isn’t broke—it’s rigged. Defund the bloat, sunset TIFs, and let taxpayers keep what’s theirs.
