With 200 Half Empty Schools, Chicago Teachers Union Plan Rally Outside Chamber of Commerce Demanding Higher Taxes on Corporations

Chicago has 200 half empty public schools. But, that isn't going to stop the greed of the public school teachers unions:
On Tuesday, the Chicago Teachers Union along with other groups will rally outside a meeting of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce’s chief financial officer executive summit. The groups will converge at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, 151 E. Wacker Drive, to demand banks and large corporations pay more taxes to cover housing and job losses, and education cuts.
Because it's necessary for 14,048 Illinois public school teachers to make over $100,000 in salary. When a city loses 200,000 people, many of their schools will become rather empty.
