-- Candidates for mayor of Chicago faced off Friday night in an open forum – this time on Chicago's South Side.
Topics discussed included education and supporting Chicago Public Schools educators. On that issue, the issue of education, many of the candidates largely agreed on the best ways to improve schools and support teachers. Vallas also called for pushing money down to the local school level – and a return to some of the policies he championed as CPS chief executive officer from 1995 until 2001, including open campuses where school buildings are accessible after hours, on weekends, on holidays, and in the summer. He also called for a paid work study program that all city agencies, departments, and contractors would be involved in to give CPS students professional opportunities.
Lightfoot also said her administration is supporting teachers by living up to the Chicago Teachers Union contract – raising pay and bringing on more nurses, counselors, and other support staff. She said while former CTU President Jesse Sharkey is not someone who typically agrees with her, he called the most recent union contract"the best contract CTU has ever had in its history."

Biden, McCarthy sit side-by-side at prayer breakfast after debt ceiling talksPresident Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy sat side-by-side at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington Thursday — less than 24 hours after beginning their high-stakes… compadres Which means next to nothing. If anything, it shows how their feigned hatred of each other (and by the two parties in general) is a political game and not much more. Each depends on the other being his enemy to sustain their relevancy. We saw this with the Speaker vote. Why didn’t he sit with Devi? (FYI: Kamala’s middle name)
