If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

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.
Online reports vary on the 3 year old’s name. Some say Mekay James; some say Mekhi James.
There’s no mention of the parents’ names.

Some reports say Mekhi/Mekay was a Skokie resident. ???

Good article on http://www.naturalnews.com entitled America is now a failed state by Mike Adams. Unfortunately these headlines are commonplace. Seems like there is a madness or mass insanity going on everywhere. The latest is the name “Eskimo Pie” is considered offensive or rasist. They will be changing the name soon. This in addition to Aunt Jemima-Uncle Ben. What’s next- White bread-black coffee-apple brown Betty? What about Cap’t Crunch? He only has 3 stripes which makes him a Commander not 4 to make him a Captain. He probably self promoted to get a bigger pension.

The America failed state article isn’t available. ☹️
We forgot the Kool Aid guy. On naturalnews website just search America is now a failed state. It should come up. Scroll way down on article for comments.
It is also under “from the health ranger 2nd article down.
Thank you Freddy! ʘ‿ʘ ?
Okay, I get it.
My only guess is that the reason that the media is ignoring the three year old boy’s sudden demise due to lead poisening is that, “post birth abortion” should be legitimized at all costs.
That however, still does not explain the same medias total lack of concern about the lead poisening death of 9 year old Tyshawn Lee.
Somebody in the media should start a conversation about 9 year old Tyshawn Lee and 3 year old “what’s his name” but because there is no cash involved or a white man to blame, that will never happen.
Defund the Police! We need street justice instead! The constitution, with equal protection and rights of defendants, was written by old, racist, slave owning white men! These values have no meaning in today’s world!
Check the stats for Saturday nite. 16 yr old, 17 yr old, 13 yr old and a 3yr old all died from 9mm COVID 19. So far this weekend, Friday 6pm to midnight Saturday its 8 dead and 44 shot. The self cleaning ghetto oven never quits. I agree with the “defund the police”. The crap storm to follow would be epic. Some of your readers may not know about the website “HEYJACKASS.COM” that posts accurate stats on crime and violence in murder city, Chicago. Interesting facts and data not subjected to media and political twisting.
Update for interested folks. 9 killed and 55 shot as of 9am Sunday. Apparently BLM dont matter to the ones who are killing at a record pace.
Keep in mind any of them that test positive for Covid, based on the criteria used in IL, will be listed as a Covid death.
Defund the police!
This is truly sad but where is the BLM crowd now? Where were they when Tyshawn Lee got his!? The hypocrisy of Black Lives Matter and their multinational corporate sponsors is absolutely astounding!!!
It is time to start asking the question of just to whom it is that “Black Lives Matter”; I mean really matter.
One thing is absolutely certain, when a little cash can be had, they matter greatly but when it is 3 and 9 year old’s; phhht, who cares. Not the BLM crowd that’s for sure
P.S. Does anybody remember just who Tyshawn Lee was?
BLM is nowhere because there’s no money to be made from this child’s death. When a black criminal gets killed by a cop there’s police departments and cities to sue, pandering politicians to make demands of, companies to extort, sympathetic “journalists” to give interviews to
Tyshawn Lee was a victim of gang revenge shooting. He was 9 years old. ??
