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.

The states attorneys office wants the impossible most of the time. Demanding video evidence for just about everything. Not approving charges that are consistent with state law. Demanding a continuing investigation when there’s nothing else to investigate. The entire Cook County states attorneys office is a joke.
Kimmy thought the charges were credit card and Link card related instead.🤣😂
Ok, so are they in jail? What was their bond? “Approved” charges, what was your approved charges rate in the weeks before the CPD identified you Foxx as the problem?
Sure they were up, but what have they been over the last year. Way Way below 84 percent I would bet. Krimesha knows she is not doing the job. She and her sycophant assistants made sure there were charges over this disgustingly violent weekend. Even so I will also bet that the numbers were manipulated to get that high.
Yeah, they were charged with jaywalking and littering. Kim Foxx is an embarrassment of the highest order. Holding people accountable is her lowest priority.
