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.

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.

Maps don’t prevent anyone from voting, Kwammi! What you meant to say is that we want people to vote for who we tell them to vote for!
Democrats want to legalize gerrymandering!
“Raoul filed the brief along with the attorneys general of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.”
Leftist Democrats agree, Gerrymandering works.
Raoul is a Dem tool with an eye on higher public office. Like the rest of his Marxist/ progressive cabal, they won’t stop until they turn the entire country into a third world mess.
Hmm, will they ever draw up districts based on taxpaying ability?
It never crossed their minds.
LOL the list of 20 states are Democrat governed states. They want to redraw maps during Trump’s term to try and recapture the house of representatives in 2026. This is so obviously transparent.
Gerrymandering by race in Illinois??…who’da thunk
By race? Oh, dear boy.
By party.
Everyone except Republicans can have a “representative” district.
