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.

Its not a violence/crime problem perse, it is a culture problem — specifically the culture of “im a bad ass m’er f’er”. And who is most responsible for promoting this culture and brain washing the black community over the last 30 years? The liberal/progressive est. The violence is just a manifestation of the underlying culture.
How many votes Is irrelevant. It’s who counts the votes! It’s Cook County, Illinois and Chicago! Yea it’s all legitimate. Git you head out of your ass!
If Kim Foxx loses Chicago voters, she’s ripe to lose next election. Chicago alone carried her in this past election. Republican O’Brien managed to win in an otherwise Democratic suburban Cook.
No way she’ll lose. Blacks, like poles of the 20th century, care little for politics, and only for identity politics.
If they polled the gang bangers-murderers-street thugs-gang members-drive by shooters-looters they are all thrilled with Lightfoot and Foxx. Two trigger fingers up!
Foxx and Lightfoot would win any election they ran for because the voters are so stupid they dont know and don’t care how big of a failure they are. As long as they have that (D) in back of their name they will get 90%+ of the vote. Stupid, uniformed voters elect stupid, uniformed politicians.
If people are that unhappy even with all the free money from Joe and Jabba, just wait until that spigot runs dry. Lil Kim better dust off the resume.
