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.

Our jails are too empty! Time to fill them out with small business owners who dared to have their own risk assessment and disagree with ledfoot and jabba!
Now is the time to fill up the jails with Illinois politicians
The jails aren’t big enough for that
The Legislature did tell him what the enforcement penalties should be: nothing
We’re being dictated to by a rich child who never even had any reason to learn how to operate a screwdriver or clean his own toilets. Everything was done for him yet he’s the big know it all now right.
Then again Rauner was much the same. But he pretended to know something by wearing a flannel shirt in a woodshop with all unused tools and no sawdust, to make us think he knew something worthwhile in his campaign ad.
Of course it’s all BS. But at least we liked most of Rauner’s ideas to Make Illinois Great Again. Pritzger is Rauner as Trump is to Obama. The exact opposite who seeks to destroy his predecessor’s legacy.
He is crying and needs to go home. Disappointed doesn’t even begin to describe how many of the businesses feel about Pritzker.
So we see that the governor of the 6th largest state in the United States could likely not pass a government class as he lacks even the most basic understanding of how any of this works. At this point, if you voted for this clown, you deserve any ridicule you get.
It will be interesting to see how all these people that have recently been fired from their jobs by the Democratic Party vote in November.
They will vote DEM.It is their nature to destroy their lives with DEM party.Go kill there jobs and they will still vote for the DEMS
About 68% of the unemployed are making more money now than before they were let go. There will be no massive uprising. In fact they will blame the ones that put an end to this gravy train.

“The expanded unemployment benefits are set to expire at the end of July.”
Many of those low wage workers are young and the least likely to vote anyways.
Does he not realize he won because of the party flag under which he campaigned? It wasn’t because of respect or admiration, or the belief that he is fit to govern. Guy is a joke. Sad he is so incapable of processing that fact… And, a clear reflection of the sycophants licking his boots.
Allow me to translate: “What?!? King Mike promised me complete dictatorial powers. He said that I could go all Gestapo on anyone that dared defy me. I can play Heinrich Himmler on these peasants. I want prison Camps now!!! Wahhhhh!!
What’s the matter chuckles the clown are you now a sad faced clown since you didn’t win. Boo hoo chuckles
