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.

The problem is the infrastructure he built while in office. While the Evil Leprechaun ™ is behind bars the workflow he set up is alive and functioning w/o him. Public facing heads of departments come and go but the lower level rank and file pencil pushers stay for 30 year careers.
He hurt Illinois more than anyone in current history. His corruption will be paid for by generations of taxpayers.
Now let’s get Pritzker on the hook for his
crimes and send him off to the land of orange jump suites. How about pritzker and Brandon together in orange for a group picture.
It’s sad that he ends his career in prison, but he knew all along what he was doing wrong. His family knew, the Illinois legislature knew, and he just kept doing it. I am shocked that in Illinois the 7th Circuit didn’t release him. There is still hope that justice resides in some places in this state.
Mikeys ill gotten gains are going straight into the lawyers pockets to buy his freedom. Here’s hoping he dies broke in jail
This guy should get the electric chair for what he’s done to Illinois, he’s the snowball at the top of the hill.
Da King Dem of Illinois Mikey Madigan will soon be wearing orange again!!
When do the Feds prosecute the entire Dem Party of Illinois as a criminal enterprise?!!
