I thought it deserved being put in an article all of its own, although I published it yesterday as well.
If you are not in this list, you can find the cost to your local school district’s taxpayers here.
Logic is on the side of the Chicago Democrats making this proposal.
Perhaps because the Illinois General Assembly was malapportioned until at least the last 1950’s, Downstate politicians controlled everything.
It is not unlikely that they decided that Chicago’s teachers’ pension fund should be financed with local property taxes, while deciding that tax burden for everyone else would be borne by state taxpayers.
Are these pension costs or simply the total salaries reported to TRS by each district for a year?
The reference on the linked page is to Earnings.
I don’t see an indication of pension cost anywhere.
Please advise.
