Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension. Audio here.
Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

interesting this wasn’t considered a mass shooting by the media… wonder why
Didn’t one of father faker’s own henchman get arrested for carrying around a firearm with no FOID or CCL permit! By all means, let’s make it more difficult for the law abiding to get a firearm.
The “house party” was a celebration of life for the nice fellow who decided to Armed carjack a guy in his BMW in downtown Chicago. Unfortunately for the carjacker who the party was in honor of…that BMW owner was also a CCL holder and was able to end the threat right then and there. Seems like violence follows this guy even in death.
This, if true, is absurd.
