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.

Arwady has now made it perfectly clear that white people are not important. She and racist Lori have made it perfectly clear that only south and west side constituents will be prioritized. This is all for ghetto votes. These are the people who caused the uptick with their refusal to social distance, house parties, drinking and smoking in every park, looting, burning, rioting, and weeks long celebrations of Mexican independence. The deaths of the elderly, disabled, immune compromised and cancer and heart patients are solidly on dirty haired Arwady and racist Lori. Why isn’t this being investigated by the inspector… Read more »
They make up the rules as they go.
How many elderly and vulnerable will die while Arwady tries to make sure no 20 yr old POC get a sniffle? Despicable.
That’s the plan, it’s discrimination against white people.
The irony, however, is that it’s been mostly white elderly people, and white and asian health care worker, getting the shots. They are clearly saying one thing but doing another.
If you can’t see them discriminating purposely there is something wrong with you. Lori and Arwady are trying to buy ghetto votes just like Cabrini Kim who won her election by allowing black criminals to go free and be allowed to loot, murder, carjack and rob. Stop quoting statistics that you can’t verify. The numbers are skewed because white people on the evil white north side work in health care.
Lori and dirty hair are lying to the voters. Look at the articles, you can do it yourself with a 10 second duckduckgo search, and see that the vast majority of people vaccinated in Chicago so far have been white or asian. More hispanic and black have been vaccinated in the previous few weeks but that doesn’t change anything.
I personally could care less what race of the vaccinated patients as long as they are high risk. That’s all that matters to me. The ‘equity’ behind it is toxic and insidious racism.
The only racism is Arwady and Loris hatred of white seniors, disabled, immune compromised and cancer and heart patients. These two sjw losers want only black and Latino people vaccinated at the expense of white seniors.
“These two sjw losers want only black and Latino people vaccinated at the expense of white seniors.”
I agree with you on this. However, they have clearly failed at their goal. Black and Latinks people are not currently being vaccinated at the expense of white seniors. Maybe that will change, but thus far, the early bird gets the worm, and it’s mostly streeterville residents getting the shots.
“The numbers are skewed because white people on the evil white north side work in health care.”
What difference does that make? That’s a perfectly valid explanation for the racial disparities. But it’s not good enough for dirty hair and Lori.
