hahaha Dems getting exactly what they voted for Death, Destruction, Bad schools Criminal politicians, A city failing Just like Detroit A dimwit Model cityWhen they aren't stealing everything in sight that isn't nailed, they are running things into the ground. Five men, at least one of them a former Chicago Public Schools employee, stand accused of stealing more than $870,000 from two city high schools by fraudulently billing for goods and services that were often never delivered.. The theft, which authorities say occurred between late 2009 and early 2014, is another piece of bad news for the district, whose financial woes were spotlighted Wednesday by a downgrade of its debt to junk status. District chief Barbara Byrd-Bennett is on leave amid a federal investigation into a $20.5 million no-bid contract given to one of her former employers.
