Paul Vallas discusses with show host Jeff Berkowitz how, as Chicago’s Mayor, he would take on the teachers’ union- head on, vigorously support and implement school choice, hold the line on property taxes and deal w/Chicago’s massive pension shortfall.

Vallas, mentioned frequently as a possible candidate for Mayor, reveals he is close to “Green lighting” a decision to run and seems confident the funding will be there for him to get out his message in a vigorous February, 2023 election contest.  

Paul Vallas, Part 2, focuses on (1) fixing CPS’ failing performance in large part by empowering parents and communities with a strong school choice program that gives parents quality alternatives to improve learning, (2) taking a firm stand to hold the line on property taxes and (3) aggressively moving to stop the city’s continuing fiscal decline which many argue is dominated by out of control public sector pensions.
