发帖数: 310 | 1 Cook 早就该加税了。 1995年CPS为了自己能为所欲为， 把 Chicago学校的pension拉
出来独立核算， 同时还有cook的各种政府和警察局。当时都是fully funded的。
2017年， CPS的pension只有40% funded。 其他警察和公务员的pension也是50%
funded。 现在厚颜无耻的要并回到伊州的系统。 CPS alone 就给每个伊州的纳税人加
了5W刀的负债， 其他所有伊州的负债摊到伊州纳税人头上才6W。 护士你是傻了么？
cook的property都是undervalued的， 特别是还有TIFF区。 Madigan家的豪宅才股价
20W。 自己想象吧。 Cook 得去年地产税翻倍， 才能对付以后的Pension和财政赤字。
各个地方都要财政自主。 拼命收， 最好cook 子弹税1刀一发， 可乐税一块一罐，
这才体现社会主义的优越性。 |

Home Prices Hit New Lows in January
By TESS STYNES And KATHLEEN MADIGAN
U.S. home prices fell in January from a month earlier, hitting new lows,
with average home prices back to the levels they were at nearly a decade ago
in early 2003, according to Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller home-price
indexes.
Separately, U.S. consumers in March remain confident about the economy and
labor markets generally, but a broader index dipped as inflation worries

简单说就是进一步均贫富, 差的区教育拨款增加, 好的区教育拨款减少.
chicago CPS 299 区 所有学校 一个学生拨款少111. 等一等, 别忘了, 在299内部也是
均贫富, 而且更加厉害, 我不是299的, 谁有空查查299的分析, 一般CPS网站就有, 我
随便毛估估, 结果肯定是市区, Lincoln park的学生拨款少400-500, 南边黑墨区增加
100-200, 中国城也算好区, 至少少个100-200. 其他区域分化没这么厉害, 但是86 学

伊利诺埃Senate Bill 1 Amendment 1(SB1 Amend1 ) 是一个州议案。它的通过将大量
降低Chicago附近学区的教育经费，影响学校教育质量。
SB1的中心内容是将全州范围内各地区地税集中使用, 再按照人口, 向各个学区平均分
配。这个议案企图改变各个地区学区教育经费由本地地税负责的现状。其结果就是高收
入高地税地区的教育经费流向低收入低地税地区。如果该议案通过, 受益地区将是芝加
哥南部学区，受损地区将是芝加哥北部，北郊，西北郊，西郊等地区。受损地区其本上

分之五十。教育经费的减少必然带来教育质量的下降，这对于为了孩子的教育住而在好
学区，勤奋工作付出大量努力的人，尤其是重视教育的亚裔是不公平的。
