Well, Well, Well

But we don't need Federal assistance here in Chicago:

• Early one morning last week, a Chicago police sergeant spotted a red Pontiac stopped at an intersection in the Gresham neighborhood as traffic signals cycled from red to green and other vehicles drove around it.
  
  The sergeant approached the Grand Prix to find Timothy Richardson asleep behind the wheel. When Richardson woke up and moved his legs to comply with commands to step out of the vehicle, a loaded Glock pistol with an extended magazine and laser sight allegedly fell to the floorboard with a clunk.
  
  The July 28 incident was allegedly captured on the sergeant’s body camera. Richardson, 24, a twice-convicted felon who was barred from possessing firearms, was arrested and questioned by law enforcement before being charged with weapons offenses.
  
  But it wasn’t Chicago police who interviewed Richardson — it was federal agents. And instead of being processed by the Cook County state’s attorney’s office, Richardson was charged later that day by the U.S. attorney’s office with a federal count of illegal possession of a firearm by a felon, court records show.

So in Chicago, the teachers don't actually teach, so why not get rid of a few thousand of them?

And in Cook County, the lead prosecutor doesn't prosecute - the feds are doing it - so why not cut a few hundred prosecutors from the payroll? Then start looking at Tom Fart's payroll that has doubled in ten years while staffing has plummeted.

At some point, we might actually see a tax cut with all the savings.
