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.

That’s how their mind works! I’m in charge Now! Talk about evolutional regression!! Will the dreaded “N” word make a return? Get close to the fainting couch! Some people can’t change. Anybody know how the food is at the re-education center? It better be good! Picture hundreds of old white people who are hungry, you’ll have a riot that won’t look good.
Sounds like ‘re-education’ to me. If you’re white it will be rather unpalatable; if POC it will simply reinforce what you learned as a child – you are a victim.
Toni the Race Clown makes new Republicans every time she opens her stupid mouth
Chicago, where it’s fashionable to be openly racist!
No she doesn’t. Most residents of Cook County wouldn’t vote for a Republican even if you put a gun to their head and threatened to pull the trigger. The only way to change Cook County’s political environment is to change the demographics, i.e. get rid of all the Democrat voters and replace them with Republicans. The Cook County Democrats have been doing that themselves too – they’ve been replacing Republicans with foreign born and illegals, or moving from Logan Sq. to Mt. Prospect and bringing their awful progressive Democrat politics with them.
Right you are debtsor. There is talk of a recall election in Mt. Prospect!
Residents are not happy with the new left majority sitting on the town board and their Leftist agenda.
Hmmmm….subtle as usual. Chicago and Cook County what more can be stated? If you’re white you’re hated.
