-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
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. Audio here.
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.

So Jay, what do you call what happened in your own state this weekend?
I took a screenshot just in case it disappeared.
What was changed?
In other words what’s the before and after Twitter text?
I missed something and thought he’d deleted some verbiage. Still good to have a screenshot in case it gets deleted. Same with the pic of the MN AG holding the ANTIFA manual. He deleted the post but someone had the forethought to capture it.
He really cares about the people of the state of illinois while he watches it burn from his massive boat on Lake Geneva
pathetic slime
pritzker is the biggest racist of all, and a tyrant. worst governor IL has even seen.
Pritzker says he is outraged by Trump. Well Pritzker is an embarrassment and I am outraged by him.
Didn’t he also say that white cops beat and kill black americans every day all across America? What a crock. These people live in a fantasy world, where facts don’t matter, and science and data means whatever you want them to mean, and the poor are virtuous, the billionaires are our betters but the middle class is scum because they support Trump.
Actually, Blacks are more likely to be murdered by another Black. Whites are more likely to murdered by Blacks. Yes, Whites are murdered by Whites too. ?????☠️???
All it desires is to raise it’s profile on the national stage.
It is done after this in Chicago, so it is angling for more exposure
to rise in the ranks of the filth on the left.
Pritzker and Groot are such an embarrassment – the pandering is obscene.
Typical ploy, move attention away from our failures to attack someone else. He is so pathetic.
“His tweets, his reaction, his failure to address the racism in America is stoking the flames in subtle and not so subtle ways,” “It makes me so mad I want to run for President in 2024 with Rahm for vice President.”
Ironic. Rehmus, though never my guy, did an infinitely better job than L-dog… If she is the norm coming out of U of C’s law school, it is a blight on its’ pedigree.
Nice try Jabba, but people in nursing homes are still dying because of you.
Trump laid out the bait, Lori and JB bit. Now their failures are being played out on the national stage.
Which begs the question: how many more of these public spats are going to go down before Madigan’s dossier on Jabba “somehow” finds its way into the hands of the feds a la Blago.
Right out of page one of the liberal playbook. Scream “racist” so everyone forgets all the corruption and mismanagement. BJ Prickster…… what a tool,
Minneapolis is a Democrat city in a Democrat state. The Democrats can never wash the blood from their hands
Republican and gun toting protesters descended on the Virginia capital and it was completely peaceful. Democrat protestors. The blood stains on the Democrat party never go away.
Looks like Dictator for Life Jabba is trying to distract us from his scandals, corruption, incompetence and stupidity. He’ll fail at this like he fails at everything
JBone Pritzker is now going to pivot back to Trump, etc. to draw attention away from his gaffes relating to EVERYTHING else he does. Sadly, the free-stuff crowd that elected him are too obtuse to understand they are being used and their votes bought to feed the ego of an idiot who is completely unfit for his job.
There he goes again, he takes the bait, every time….wait until your own voter class violently riots against you.
Agreed. I generally see this stuff as bait. They both took it.
And the President was right. People do not take kindly to rioters looting. It wont take much more for good people to,start shooting. This is no longer about the poor guy who was murdered anymore. I watched some nitwits livestreaming Minneapolis. The dead guy was the last thing on the minds of a majority of lowlifes up there or in Dallas or Des Moines (of all places), Phoenix, New York, DC.
He is.
The Robert Creamers all over the country are stepping it up. Its the president reminding us to defend our Castle.
