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.

My rep, never again. Traitor.
Kinzinger has lost his mind,
He’s RINO scum. He will never be re-elected.
assuming legitimate elections
This group calls for “Anglo-Saxon political traditions” and yet you think Adam is scum. This group is fantastic. It makes it very easy to determine who are the nut jobs within the GOP. Although I doubt you will get too many people on the record supporting the America First Caucus. And you people wonder why you can’t win a statewide election in Illinois.
“Although I doubt you will get too many people on the record supporting the America First Caucus. And you people wonder why you can’t win a statewide election in Illinois.”
Your statements are contradictory. No one will support it yet it’s the problem with GOP…..hmmmmm…
Yet somehow, far better run and booming Republicans Red nationwide have Trifectas in how many state governments?
PFF, It’s Illinois and the people like you that live here. You are the problem, not the GOP.
The POS Kinzinger will probably just switch parties. He is more Dem than Repub anyway.
