Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis may be a hardcore liberal who professes to represent the ordinary teacher, but that doesn’t mean she wants to live like one. In addition to an annual salary and benefits totaling $235,000 annually, she owns three homes, including a vacation house in Hawaii.

For comparison’s sake, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel earns a $212,000 annual salary. Lewis has clashed repeatedly and bitterly with the mayor over his efforts to rein in the city budget. The union president has denounced him as “Mayor 1 Percent.”
