In regards to vendors and bulk purchasing power, a portion of our neighborhood CPS school needed a paint job, so the principal selected someone from the approved vendor list, and moved forward. The amount paid that I heard was jaw-dropping. Regardless, who is negotiating vendor quotes, and why are school administrators making these decisions individually? I've worked for companies that paint schools for free on Volunteer Day.

Nepotism runs rampant in Illinois not just Chicago.

You mean to tell me that the exorbitant new water rates aren’t enough to bail out Chicago!? The City has a spending problem, not a revenue problem…but that’s how it goes with Socialists. It works until you run out of other people’s money.

Is there any reason for Chicago to do anything now that DEMOCRATS in Springfield have programmed so much money from downstate and the collar counties into Chicago coffers?
