Program Overview

Ken Davis is joined by mayoral candidate Bill Daley. They discuss his recent proposals to reduce the number of local school councils from about 500 to 60, and his assertion that the City Council should be reduced from 50 to 15 aldermen. He also proposes a hybrid school board, composed of four mayoral appointees and three members chosen from the local school councils. With respect to retirees, he says he wants to see a revision to the Illinois Constitution that would allow negotiations which could eventually lead to the reduction of certain retiree benefits, such as the 3% compounded cost of living adjustment.
