Members of the city's education sector and the CTA reportedly owe 80 percent of the debt, adding up to nearly 15.7 million. The worst debtor is an employee of the CPS, a substitute teacher who has racked up a debt of almost 200,000 for building code violations, fines, and traffic tickets. CTA employee Nikita Hampton, 58, who was hired by the CTA after he spent 20 years in jail for bank robbery, owes 136,000 in fines and fees to the city.
