From The Chicago Sun-Times:
…[A]s teachers union president, [Karen Lewis] is aiming for the top once again — right for Daley. She has her sights set on the mayor’s piggy bank of tax increment financing funds. She calls his pet education project, Renaissance 2010, “a disaster.”
“He’s had 15 years of reform…”
“All we ever hear about is how terrible the schools are. … People want to blame the teachers, but the person we should be blaming is Mayor Daley.”
Mayoral control of schools, Lewis says, is “an abomination. It’s made things worse. We’re going backwards in time. Mayoral control is a failed experiment.”
