it was something that was really tapped by the teachers union and that's where we are today. where you have the encome went mayor for the first time ever in a run off against a newcomer to the mayoral race. >> and the teacher's union, a crucial democratic supporter. is this helpful or hurtful to them to have this run off? >> we haven't had a republican mayor in for over 80 years. yes, it is a very right of center. his opponent jesus garcia women out and out of little village in chicago. he said he was more in touch of what people were going through on an every day basis. in the last few weeks we've seen them seize on that issue of violence and what's happening in the every day lives of the people in chicago. still, you know, mayor rahm emmanuel said that he has gotten a lot of support and support from inside his city council and support in these districts he has done really well with. >> do you get a sense from either campaign how close this race will be? >> well, obviously it's a close race. but the poles in the last few weeks they're showing a sizable lead by mayor rahm emm

the leaders of major teacherers' unions are pushing back because of the new more difficult tests alignedto the standards being used to evaluate both students and teachers. it's giving teacherers a lot less freedom and flexibility for the good onesment it's difficult for the bad ones. they are constantly testing. where are democrats going to fall on this? >> they will be opposed to it. this is growing very quickly. that will likely go against hillary clinton. it doesn't have the common core baggage. that's going to make the republican candidate i think, unelectable at that time. the conservative votes will be disappointed. the turn out will be suppressed and low. i think you will have the moderate votes or the apolitical votes will vote for the other candidate for the one who doesn't have are the common core baggage. and mrs. clinton is very smart very shrewd. she will be able to criticize this and it will almost sound like a republican criticizing the republican nominee. she'll criticize it for the decision-making. she'll criticize it for the heavy handedness of the federal government. s

if you take what i just said our public-sector unions teachers and police and firefighters, are they less democratic than hedge fund managers who want to take over this money in funding? one of your points is that public-sector unions is not the counterbalance to concentrated capital or to owners or employers that they are in the private sector. they are pushing agendas which are about raising wages, increasing work in the public sector, but they are working to private sector unions together. you see alliances between public and private sector unions. one of the arguments is they are playing democracy at the bargaining table. people do that all the time. i contribute to partisan politics. i argue in public forums like this. unions, because they're pushing democratic thoughts, are increasing democracy and doing it with the alliance is a private sector for the great many other insecure workers. ross reynolds: this is getting good. daniel, i would like to hear you respond to some of what we just heard from michael, particularly to the last point. you say that public unions have two bites

think the race is shaping up between sort of the old line, "support the union" line support the teacher's union, versus, let's have a message that appeals to parents who care about the way their children are being educated. and i think that's the dichotomy here between kenney and tony and we're gonna see whether philadelphia voters really care about having the tried and true teachers' union come out and support our candidate versus somebody who's thinking outside the box on education like tony. >> but i think people are also thinking about the economy, too, and are trying to figure out what is going to happen as it relates to jobs and opportunity. you know, is this going to be a place that people can ultimately grow and see their families grow, and that there are gonna really be some jobs? so, that's why i think you see the push-pull between the two candidates. >> sure. >> they both care, i think about education. they both care about the city. one has a vision about, maybe, what the future looks like. the other one is very much concerned about what's happening with working families. i want to s

he battled unions, particularly the teachers union here in chicago.faction with mayor emanuel, and that is playing out in this race. at the same time, he has raised all that money, he has got strong business backing here in chicago. at the end of the day, that will probably pull him through. brendan: peter, have we learned something about the democratic party that you can really annoy the teachers unions and other municipal unions and still win as a democrat? peter: yeah, but it is hard, and you will suffer some bruises along the way. that is what rahm emanuel discovered. he thought he was going to just win in the reelection easily, yet he is in this runoff situation, so it is not been an easy road for rahm emanuel but this does show that you can take on teachers unions and still survive. but it has been a bloody battle here. the animosity between the teachers union and rahm emanuel is palpable in this town. you can feel it and see it on the air as well. olivia: peter, for our viewers and listeners around the globe who are perhaps less familiar with m

he faced off against the chicago teachers union, one of the first teachers strikes in did he go cased here in chicago as well as providing over the large evident mass closing of schools in u.s. history. these actions alienated a strong base in the chicago teachers union as well as amongst teachers here in chicago for the incumbent mayor and that is something his opponent seized upon getting support of the teachers union as well as other grassroots organizations. he has proposed himself being the every man who has lived in the city of chicago in a neighborhood that has been plagued by violence, being somebody he says who can relate to the every day fears of people here in chicago. still, mayor rahm emanuel has enjoyed a significant lead over his challenger. all the polls in the last weeks indicate that he's been ahead by double detects. for both campaigns getting voter turnout is important. it was low in february. an sentee balloting has gun gone up but it's spring break in chicago and both campaigns have pushed to get supporters out to the polls. >> the vote in chicago is just one of

i think that accountability argument is really about busting up teacher unions really about vilifying teachers and labeling them the problem with public education, to hide the fact they're systematically underfunding schools, denying the kids that need the most resources to succeed and achieve. >> i would say brian there's nothing less transparent than standardized testing. and there's also -- the accountability attached to it is usually wrong. for instance, with the tests given as part of the common core, and with a lot of other tennessee, standardized tests as well teachers are not allowed to see the questions, and afterwards the grades come in when the student is no longer in the same classroom, and the teacher -- the new teacher doesn't know the children, and they don't get to see the test either. so they learn nothing from the test. the purpose of a test should be diagnostic. when you go to a doctor you want the doctor to tell you what your temperature was you. don't want him to say i'll let you know six months from now and i'll let you know but it will just be comparing you to o

the mayor faced off with the chicago's teachers union, and faced the first strike in more than 20 yearse closed around 50 schools, consolidating them with what he city said were underperforming schools. that it are operating at a budget shortfall for 2016, and that's another issue that both of these candidates differ on how they will fill that gap. >> usher what has the voter turnout been so far? >> reporter: well it has been slow and ste -- steady. what we do hear from the election commission is that we have had a large number of early voters submitting their ballots ahead of time. more than 142,000 have been processed already. and the polling opened here about 6:00 am and closes at 7:00 pm, when we expect to see the returns coming in. both candidates are at and about, they are doing that last run to push their supporters to the polls here in chicago. >> chicago politics are in a league of their own, but why does this matter? >> reporter: well there's a couple of questions both of these candidates chicago hasn't had a republican mayor in more than 80 years. these two candidates differ

america and non-traditional programs that he cross-out people and in many cases in opposition to teacher unionsut by the they make different demands those are this stunning those are teachers struggling i mean every teacher struggles it is a difficult job those who don't have the academic background that teachers should have and they are asked are told they must work extended hours in some cases in san francisco i've been told their told they must work through their prep periods that are part right of contract with the teachers that they must work hours outside of the workday and we honestly may think we'd like more work out of your teachers but i think that - but when i thought about this this is disturbing we're saying we think that teachers can only be successful unless we make that a question of using what we described as a moral imperative you must work outside the contract i think that we should be open seriously about this this is one of the things we have a lot of teacher of america's interns in san francisco their frankly the people that supervisor them or some of them are forcing them

the teachers union is the underbelly of this, opposed to standardized testing and basically tied to their: it is hard to judge how good a teacher second or third or fourth grade they're starting to press these kids as early as second grade. charles: if they know how to take the test they don't know anything else? >> 13 skills, you see that with charter skills, not just teaching to the test but it critical thinking in there. we have such mediocre performance. >> i have seen it tests and i'm not impressed with problem-solving, critical thinking. charles: i saw my son that day, his cool the two sets of tests and sometimes they would give them a lower test. i didn't like that. dierdre: we have a lot of stuff the ceo of go daddy. danika patrick is not coming. nascar n. the ceo of go daddy will talk about diversity in the workplace and other subject. charles: the nfl, the draft is right around the corner in each year the league size of potential draft picks, the i.q. test, joining us from chicago the president of wonder lick and tells us tells us about this. i never knew nfl players took an iq

a teachers union in maryland is urging lawmakers to reject a tax credit. the proposed credit backed by governor hogan would help businesses that support private school students. the president of the maryland senate -- rather the maryland state education association calls the break a vulture scheme. hogan initially pulled back on money for education and state employee pay to address a budget deficit. fairfax county residents got their first chance to comment on school funding at a public hearing today. supervisors are reviewing the 2016 budget passed by the school board in february. the $2.7 billion budget is $56 million more than this year's. the school board is now asking for an additional $14 million. another public hearing will take place tomorrow afternoon at the fairfax county government center. still to come a kidney donation to marion barry sparked a legal battle. and tonight, first words from the lawyers representing the late mayor's widow. and discrimination case out of nats park. why three former ushers are now suing because of their work schedul

the argument that the teachers unions make that this shouldn't be a question of how many nontweemps have in schools which is -- nonteachers we have in schools which is too many there, give them more money. they have been getting more money every year. >> let me give you another arguments. 300 million worse of projects the maintain roads and buildings will be put on hold in the next two years because of brownback's very specific proposal to transfer $132 million out of the state's highway fund. is that an overspending problem or is that a revenue problem. >> you have both the problem with the davis bacon act and similar legislation at the state level -- >> the davis bacon act means when you procure work for public works that the contenders for that work must have union workers right? >> must have union wages. >> but kansas roads are not broken because of unions. >> you have a problem with more expensive costs than you should. the challenge -- okay look. in kansas they're phasing out the income tax and as you know maine has announced that's their goal, mississippi the house just voted to d

which helped garcia get the support of the teachers union. a lot of issues to talk about, financial issues front of mine in chicago. >> one more question - why does the election matter beyond chicago? >> well as you know chicago is a democratic city. there hasn't been a republican mayor in 80 years. both are democrats. the party affiliation is not taken into consideration during mayoral elections. it gives a sense of where the party may be leading. you have garcia a progressive democrat. ron emanuel a centrist looking for reforming education and pension reform and reached out to corporate interest trying to bring business to chinkcago and garcia growing up in the west an area plagued by violence and he understands what the working chicagoan and their thought are. there's a working spectrum and could give a sense of where the democratic party is going forward looking to 2016. ashar quraishi in chicago. >> voters are going to the polls in ferguson, missouri choosing new members for city council. we have this report. there is more than local pol

if you take what i just said our public-sector unions teachers and police and firefighters, are they less democratic than hedge fund managers who want to take over this money in funding? one of your points is that public-sector unions is not the counterbalance the concentrated capital or two owners or employers that they are in the private sector. they are pushing agendas which are about raising wages, increasing work in the public sector, but they are working to private sector unions together. you see alliances between public and private sector unions. one of the arguments is they are playing two and of democracy at the bargaining table. people do that all the time. i contribute to partisan politics. i argue in public forums like this. unions, because they're pushing democratic thoughts, are increasing democracy and doing it with the alliance is a private sector for the great many other insecure workers. ross reynolds: this is getting good. daniel, i would like to hear you respond to some of what we just heard from michael, particularly to the last point. you say that public unions h

core alsoti splits democrats, pitting the obama administration and reform advocates against teachers' unions, who have criticized the way it's been implemented.t' >> the common core started off as a bipartisan effort.n >> reporter: in iowa earlier this week, democratic presidential front-runner hillary clinton backed thehe controversial standards. >> it was to try to come up with a core of learning that we might expect students to achieve across our country, no matter what kind of school district w they were in, no matter how poor their family was, that there wouldn't be two tiers of education. >> reporter: clinton didn't endorse the way common core is being implemented. jim, it's a highly contentious and complicated issue, and it will likely become even more politicized as the campaign gets under way. >> axelrod: julianna goldman in our washington newsroom, julianna thank you. >> they ended up in colorado springs instead where passengers stayed grounded on the tarmac for more than six hours. vinita nair shows us how that played out. >> reporter: this is cell phone video shot on board. >> oh

the unions are the protector for a better life for the teacher. rally, people go for their own self interest and cuddle up to a union. you would come and i would. the minute you make the kids getting a satisfactory test result by local standards a chance to make more money for me, the teacher, excellence becomes the order of the day. the teacher goes for the prize, for the carrot. if the government's strongest weapon is the power to tax sometimes the greatest exercise of power is in the restraint of its use. the restraint of the tax collecting power can be the greatest carrot the government has to get socially desirable behavior. let's take health care. a strategic conversation. we know third-party payers when you get your insurance from your employer, or from the union or from the government, you don't give a damn what it costs for your doctor as long as you don't have to pay for it. the idea that a third party is paying it leads to a very different mindset between a patient and doctor. every expert has studied the subject that has said if we get

these are the teachers unions.olks trying to get away from national standards, we are setting benchmarks that determine what it really means to have quality education in the country. we have got to take all of this stuff on and we have got an uphill batter -- uphill battle. eric: parents play an important role in public education. we see them quoted in bleeding heart stories, my son could not pass the test and he spent many hours. it is not that i'm not empathetic to the trouble's family had, but if the country does not have a high standard, these poor kids are going to get left behind, not to borrow a phrase from 2001, but they will. jeffrey: this is more insidious for this reason. this is what i said to president obama and secretary duncan. core will not be turned back by poor parents and harlem and brooklyn. it will be parents in long island who their schools are also struggling and having trouble. part of the debate has been focused on a tiny slice of the population. stephanie: don't people want their children

his opponent, kenney, i think, is just playing to the teachers' union and others, but that may be the playing field out there. that may be where people are. >> people are saying in the community it's boring, that the race is boring. you were just saying they're really not hearing anything from people. there is not any energy. people have to come out and really go door to door with these folks, make a big statement about who they are. i agree with you about senator williams. he is for education. he is dealing with it on both sides, as far as i'm concerned. he has relationships. he's been in harrisburg. he does have experience. but he is gonna have to have more energy and come out there like you're alluding to, pedro. he has to do that. or, you know, there might be a big difference. then you have a group of african-americans who are saying, "i'm for jim kenney," you know, which people are like, "oh, my god. o.m.g." >> mm-hmm. dwight evans, one of the bigger names that's come out for james kenney. >> but a month is a long time in politics, and we're gonna see a lot of drama in the weeks

you have commissioner garcia that is heavily backed by the teachers union and other public employee unions. they do a really good job mobilizing ward by ward, precinct by precinct, getting people to the polls. the emanualel campaign has recognize they did not do a good job as they could have in the initial election so will they be able to turn out voters on election day? i predict the turnout is going to be higher than the 30% to 35% we saw on february 24. perhaps as close to 50% which would be a pretty decent turnout for a municipal election. but, again, early voting is way up. not necessarily an indication that voting overall is going to be way up. >> paris schultz is the political reporter for wttw "chicago tonight" forum. thank you for your time. mr. schultz: good to be with you. >> chicago mayor rob emanuel and his challenger jesus garcia met for their final scheduled one-on-one debate before next week's runoff election. the debate comes as a recent poll finds the mayor leaving his challenger 58%-30 8% with 9%. the event is posted by wttw-tv and city club of chicago. it is about one h
