Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

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.
It is over for Chicago, Pension debt for cops just doubled. Taxes are going to triple in the next 5 years. Get ready for get laid and paid government.
Luxury homes in Florida going up in Value as we speak. Chicago real estate is like having herpes, no one wants it. Get ready to loose your shirt on your housing values. Kiss your money good bye. But don’t worry cops, teachers and firemen will have million dollar pensions to live on in Florida.
Illinois “Land Of Slavery”
Get a real job and quit complaining about cops.
The cops hit the disabled lottery.
The ones that hurt their finger nail will never work again and collect tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. No federal income taxes will be paid on any of that money.
Florida Luxury home sales will be going up again.
Let stupid Illinois taxpayers work for the rest of their lives supporting a Luxury lifestyle for the cops.
Illinois “Land of Slavery”
You are just justifying violence by the domestic terrorist blm organization which was totally responsible and called for the riots, looting and injuring police. The blm terrorists have called for the attacks on police since their phony psycopathic organization started with the hands up don’t shoot fantasy with Michael brown and before that the thug Trayvon.
Why do cops carry guns if their afraid to use them?
.It’s time to let the CPD teach these little a$$holes what the CTU didn’t.
P.S. Notice how restrained I was in describing the perps.
My unscientific review of various videos so far available on the web says the perps this time were primarily dumb white kids.
Blm Chicago and the black youth radicals were evident throughout the riots again.
Mark, good point. Big problem for pols (lorrie, foxx, prekwinkle, etc)– now that public is demanding foxx press felony charges against mostly black looters then they’re going to have to press felony chargers for assaulting police agaist mostly white/hippster blm protesters. Thats after all the blm protesters we’re let go, zero charges, after throwing fireworks, rocks, etc during Columbus statue riot.
Lori told her clouted sycophant police staff of Pigott(Burke’s boy), oshea(his brothers clout, Loris friend )and Alderen , close to phony alderman Sophia King to stand down and not arrest Ja’mal Green and his group of radical fools. Lori told Kim not to prosecute the terrorists who injured 49 police because she protects the west and south side rioters in exchange for votes.
