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.

STOP SOCIALISM IN THE CITY WE DON’T NEED A ID TO VOTE BUT TO GO A RESTAURANT OR BAR. PUSH BACK AMERICA NOW
Since restaurants are involved, stick a fork in a few hundred more that will be forced to close. We’re from the government and we’re here to help!
bahaha, proof that you are condemned to death by prion disease if the clots don’t get you first. Can you ask you for proof your not gay? same damn thing!!!
Next they will ask what your cholesterol level and your BMI is if you order a double cheeseburger.
This is just another glaring example of Democratic blundering. Bide spouts off wild directives with no idea how it works. You’d think the dunces would have an outline on how to accomplish their objective and be prepared to answer simple questions. Biden just runs away and Psaki hasn’t time. There is no plan except a shoulder shrug. They don’t have a clue who’s been inoculated!
A very bad idea, but then most government rules and regulations are.
Predictable. Maybe soon the sheep will wake up. Maybe not.
Chicago citizens, how’s your lives these days?
This would be just another reason in addition to the drive by murders, car jackings and attacks by youthful mobs to avoid chicago for some fun or a meal.
