Summary and audio linked here.
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.

BJ hasn’t got clue how to get his dick out of the toaster on this issue.
Democratic Party policies “provoked” this.
BJ needs to take a class in logic or even cause and effect if there’s such a course.
Continue to point out that illegals are being bussed to Chicago by a Democrat mayor in Denver and now by a Democrat mayor in El Paso. Yet, all you hear is Abbot, Abbot, Abbot.
BJ hasn’t got a clue how bad this is going to get — it may be what sends him down the Larry Lightfoot path of failure
I’m surprised at this point, republicans don’t have a national “go-fund-me” site to fund bus tickets for migrants to Chicago for dem convention? or do they?…..looks like NYC has pretty much thrown in the towel
And once again, CTU/Brandon has tons of facilities ready to go w some minor fix up to house migrants in all the empty or barely used CPS schools in “systemically disinvested” black community…but politically he still can’t go there?
Put a task force together and study the root cause Brandon. Come back to us in 30 years and let us know what you found. Or I can just tell you right now. You’ve got nothing! This humanitarian disaster was preventable and should have been stopped at the border. These people are no better off here, and all you’ve done is lower the standard of living for the people in your own city. This guy is in way over his head. Tent cities? What a disaster.
Brandonvilles they will forever be known as.
