-- 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.

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.

Good for you Alderman Lopez. She and her incompetent upper management have trashed so many neighborhoods by not recognizing simple history lessons from looters in the past. the wards are paying the price for her ineptitude.
Groot is a class act!
Why hasn’t any city council member or Chicago taxpayer called for her resignation. Are you all scared

Top story on Fox News right now, Lori.
New world order Lightfoot is compromised by the deep state.
Odd, bizarre behavior from the Mayor.
She’s mentally unstable, unbalanced, and unhinged
I listened to countless hours of the Zn13 D009 scanner last week and can confirm just who is full of it. You are Lori.
She has the professionalism of a toddler.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Kudos Alderman Lopez for exposing the lack of leadership from the mayor. Totally unprofessional and inappropriate response to the Alderman for simply addressing his safety concerns.
The city had plenty of warning signs for years. When you ignore danger, bad things happen. Now there’s a socialist mayor and you still decided to live there? Are you kidding me? Let everyone live in the rubble.
Oh time to go Lori resign now
The last 2 weeks will show you have not seen any thing yet,Wait till Trump wins again.
