Public ownership of the Bears sounds like the path

This you? Rangel agreed to pay a $10,000 penalty and be barred from participating in any future municipal bond offerings to settle the SEC’s fraud charges.  The SEC announced a settlement with UNO in 2014 for defrauding investors in the same 2011 bond offering.

Students in social work, early childhood ed, counseling & paraprofessional programs could lose federal aid under Trump's new earnings test. IL can't sit this out: @GovPritzker & the General Assembly must invest in our public universities. 🔗 linktr.ee/iftaft

LEAD 2026 ended with one message ringing through the room: power is built through organizing.

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter to @GovPritzker to fully fund schools not undermine them with federal vouchers designed to destroy public education as we know it. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/no…

Aren't some of these alders opposing the Mayor's budget, the same alders that voted to support Daley's hated parking meter sell off?
