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.

Golly. A two tiered justice system?
And the so called Italians in the city are still waiting for their Christopher Columbus statue back.
So, Alderman Hopkins, you big phony. Stop the bilious fake outrage. So who should do something about this? You support the Democrat mayor. You support the Democrat judges. You support the Democrat States attorney. You support the Democrat Governor and the do nothing legislature. So now you are outraged. Do your job or get out of office.
Make sure they have map for the DNC baby, light them up!
The Dems anti Semitism is blatant and should not be allowed. Every other group is protected, but not Jewish people. Dems are pro terrorist and do not file charges for public property destruction if the group is pro Palestine ((Hamas).
I think the Democratic party has always be antisemitic but could not make it public until they cemented their monopolistic hold on government. Now there is little that can done about it as long as the state is a one party system. Who’s next? Their actions prove they are the real Nazi’s. What is happening to this once beautiful state.
Absolutely accurate comment.
