Sposato's Battle

Alderman Sposato is taking quite the buffeting from Alderman Solis, UNO, the Mayor, and the Trib! All he wants to do is study the charter school proposal put forth by UNO and assess input from residents. That's not pleasing to the entrenched powers, who want to guarantee the school opens on time for 2012. It looks to this blogger like our Alderman is courageously standing up to bully tactics. I'm not sure if I'm for or against this school, and I'm ambivalent at best about modern unions in general, but I agree with how Alderman Nick is approaching the issue. Despite the Trib's glowing description of charter school performance, recent studies paint a different picture. Read more about it here, here, and here.
