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.

I think one of the banners had Rocky Balboa on it. Yo! Adrian!
Real funny loser
Public TV = State Run TV= Dems
Michelle lemons is an ignorant sjw and another unqualified, incompetent affirmative action queen typical of the patronage failures of the government employment process in illinois. Blm can put their graffiti all over and nothing is done. The blame for removal of the statues in the first place is Lori, Sophia King, the Grant Park advisory council and park district chief Kelly. The statues were taken down to give into the real leadership of Chicago, the domestic terrorist organization blm.
“Lemons did not respond to questions from WTTW News about why the banners were allowed to be put up without a permit or why they have not required Onesti to remove the display.”
This is ‘journalism’ today: Scolding the City because an ethnicity other than BIPOC celebrates their heritage. She’s too young, or stupid, to remember in the recent past when Italians weren’t even considered part of the White identity.
This journalist is pathetic. Go back to walking and grooming dogs, you fake news loser. You are a shame to your profession.
