Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother says as much about society as it does about religion: the role of the mother, the responsibility of the father, and the fragile balance that is disrupted when the link is broken.

Chicago Public Schools is in trouble. Chicago has two major newspapers, one for-profit and another not-for-profit. The Chicago Tribune recently described CPS as facing “the most severe challenges, arguably, of any school district in America.” The district is dealing with a financial crisis, low academic performance, declining enrollment, questions about school closures and safety, and the enormous challenge of preparing children for a world being transformed by artificial intelligence.

Two times a year, my office mails nearly 1.8 million property tax bills and collects about $20 billion. That’s not a typo — $20 billion. As Cook County Treasurer, I oversee the second-largest property tax collection and distribution system in America. However, I do far more than send out bills. My office is the financial center of Cook County.
