Congressman
Darin LaHood has taken on a big role with the National Republican Congressional Committee and he hasn’t ruled out a run for governor of Illinois.
“Listen, there are a lot of people I respect in the state of Illinois who have asked me to consider the governor’s race,” he told Playbook in a phone interview Thursday. “I’m going to wait and see what happens with our remap and see how the spring legislative session goes and see where we’re at during the summer.”
Chicago Teachers Union Poised to Strike After Mayor Lightfoot Orders Return to School
1 Feb 2021
The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is poised to strike following an order by Mayor Lori Lightfoot that teachers return to in-person learning in their classrooms.
CTU and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) failed to meet over the weekend to reach an agreement on how to get students back into in-classroom learning despite the coronavirus crisis. A strike would mean students will also not receive remote instruction.
Also important to note: CPS told teachers who don t return to in-person learning tomorrow it will not only lock them out of classrooms, but freeze their pay. https://t.co/9R3pjivCOc

TGIF, Illinois. If a presidential nominee can use the “p” word and then the s in White House, it seems just fine for a presidential aide to
use the “f” word. When did politics become PG? Because I m not sure anyone told Rahm.
