On this edition of Fort McMurray Matters, the Fort McMurray Public School Division discusses the provincial budget, accountability pillar results, and more.

There’s no question that the city was in deep financial trouble when Rahm Emanuel took over as mayor 8 years ago. And while there’s a lot of work left to do, most experts agree that he made a series of good decisions-some of them not very politically popular-that have stabilized things for the time being. Laurence Msall from the Civic Federation, and Ralph Martire from Center for Tax and Budget Accountability join us to break down Emanuel’s legacy, and what Mayor Lightfoot should emulate, and avoid. Plus one of Emanuel’s most obvious accomplishments is the riverwalk. Michelle Woods has been working on the project for 17 years, so she’s as excited as she’s ever been as the summer season opens on Chicago’s “linear park”.

Springfield kept kicking the can down the road. That can is payments into the pension system for city workers. Now that can is more than 10 times the size it used to be. And there are few options besides raising property taxes to fund the system. Ralph Martire of the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability lays out exactly how we got here, and some suggestions for getting us out. Plus Mayor Emanuel recently unveiled a new project that would make the city more energy efficient.  We discuss it with Karen Weigert, senior fellow at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, vice president at Slipstream and former chief sustainability officer for the City of Chicago

This week, Zach and Ted are joined by Daniel Hertz, Research Director at The Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, discussing all things taxes, and how the mayoral candidates have many, many opinions on how they should be handled in the city of Chicago.

Ken Davis is joined by the Chicago Tribune’s Hal Dardick and the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability’s Ralph Martire. They discuss Mayor Emanuel’s proposal to sell up to ten billion dollars’ worth of low-interest bonds and dedicate the proceeds to the four city pension funds. There’s a range of opinions on the effectiveness and potential danger of such a financial scheme, but Martire is cautiously in favor. Dardick reports that a major issue is finding a way to assure that the funds can never be tapped in the future for other purposes, thereby robbing the pension funds and increasing the debt for future generations to pay. This program was produced by Chicago Access Network Television (CAN TV).

Ralph Martire, Executive Director of the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability joins WBBM's Craig Dellimore on this week's At Issue.
