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.

As Sophia “I’m friends with the Obamas” King plans for her failure run for mayor, this is her attempt to buy off the permanent victim class with anti white vitriol by renaming LSD. She needs to investigated by the fBI for her campaign contributions and her husband’s lobbying scams.
ALL THE REASONS WHY LAKE SHORE DRIVE SHOULD STAY LAKE SHORE DRIVE

It’s such an important issue, even the dopes don’t care! I think it should be decided by Dick Durbin or an endorsement from Haywood Jablowme.
BIPOC is doing this to assert their authority over the white folk who live on Lake Shore Drive. LSD was a name chosen by white people when they were in charge. Now that BIPOC is in charge, White folk now live on DuSable drive, in honor of a black man. Changing a prestigious address is only the first step, of many, white Chicagoans will pay as BIPOC take back from the blue-eyed devils what they believe belongs to them. What was the former name of Istanbul?
Prove my theory wrong.
People would be willing to pay significantly higher taxes to live or work on Lake Shore Drive than they would to live on DuSable Drive, because one name is a simple description of a road and the other name is a freight train of political baggage.
Aaaand do the brain dead, arrogant politicians care? Nope.
There are far too many examples of silly ideas being generated in this country that, instead of being readily dismissed, are carried forward to implementation because the decision makers are, you know, of lower intelligence. The idea of renaming Lake Shore Drive should’ve been readily dismissed.
Part of the reason Lake Shore Drive is so iconic nationally is because its name is so instantly recognizable and defining. If they want to rename a street DuSable, there are many others in Chicago from which to choose.
