Can the mayor manage Chicago?

So the governor has refused to give funding to CPS... Who is the good guy, who is the bad guy here?

So, the governor refuse to help Chicago because their pension thing is out of control: why shall the rest of Illinois pay for that? (I agree...)
So, the mayor thinks the governor is playing with politics and refused money... come on give the money so school can open! (I agree too!)

Waita minute, that seems contradictory here before you take side on mayor vs governor, read this:

There is GOTTA BE solution to this. Other cities can run schools how come we are so bad at it?

If money is not there what does the mayor do? Borrow money at high interest to cover the cost so schools can stay open! Now THAT'S definitely not the right thing to do. But there is little alternative if money isn't there.

Without money we will just be further down in debt... perhaps the governor should provide money, but some criteria can be given so that CPS can be fixed up in some way?

Perhaps schools can no longer be free! Parents need to pay! (Just don't look for re-election next time around)

Ok CPS is a mess, what are alternatives? Private schools are outrageous expensive not so affordable. After you pay for it it would ask for fundraising nonstop. Between free and outrageous expensive, there needs to be some middle ground...

Well I don't have solution for this, do you? But is the city managing its money wisely, is this city run right? Would the other candidate who ran against the mayor do a better job?
