Getty ImagesGroup Hopes to Defeat Chicago Teachers Union Marie Dennis December 15, 2014 News, Rebel Pundit 1 Comment A group formed to combat the financial influence of the Chicago Teachers Union received it’s first donation. According to Chicago Business, Democrats for Education Reform, is still far from its goal. Democrats for Education Reform-Illinois on Dec. 4 reported receipt of a $100,000 check from a unit of its New York-based parent. The donation ends a dry spell for the group, which last spring had talked about pulling in up to $1 million to put donate to candidates for aldermen who agree with the group’s pro-reform, pro-charter school views. Still, $100,000 buys something in Chicago, and if the group reaches the “mid-to-high six figures” that spokesman Owen Kilmer expects, it will have an impact. The primary election for alderman and mayor is held on February 24. The general election is April 7. For more information on voting, got to chicagoelections.com.
