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.
Duckworth and Durbin are just 2 passengers in the clown car called Illinois
She won’t be getting the vp spot because she’s not black so not BLM approved. But she will get a big cabinet level post if senile joe and his black BLM approved BP wins, God forbid. And the pressure will be on senile joe to appoint racist Lori as senator. She’s becoming the darling of the radical scum in this country.
So, Obama’s boy is looking like he’s gonna choose a Chicago hack as his running mate. How unoriginal/unsurprising.
She is nothing but a democratic hack. She has refused to look into serious handicapped discrimination by high ranking members of Loris administration and Ferguson’s refusal to investigate. Details have been sent to Biden’s campaign. She is useless and a panderer to the left.
I never thought someone could make Durbin sane by comparison, but this chick did it. Who’s going to run against this insane person?
Burn all the dollar bills next!!!. Remove all the presidents off all the currancy and replace with official blm sanctioned currency reminding you how guilty you are for having any money in the first place every time you go to buy something…who uses cash anymore any ways?
Listening to those wanting to tear down George Washington statues is a higher priority than Chicago children losing their lives to gangbangers.
Anything that riles up the base to defeat Trump on November 3, 2020 is a priority.
Saving civilian lives in Austin and Englewood is not a priority, because all the Illinois electoral votes will go to Biden regardless of how many kids are murdered in Austin and Englewood.
The priority is more power and money for Tammy and the Democrats. Caving in to the violent fascist mob is the path to power. Addressing black on black crime saves lives but gets the Democrats nothing
She’s on the B list at best. Disabled is lower-tier intersectional than minority or LGBTQ. And is she a vet? That is not a status revered by the Die America Left.
She is spewing venom onto the public.
What an awful person to want to remove history.
She is vying for a spot on the Dem ticket.
