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. Audio here.
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.

Lori was just as guilty of letting animals run loose in her city during the riots. She has no room to talk, and no credibility when it comes to the violence plaguing Chiraq. Jabba opened the cells, Lori neutered the police and Lil Kim charged no POC with crimes. This is the 3 headed monster that rules Chiraq, and the city is circling the drain. And now we see this violence spreading outward to the suburbs. Thanks for nothing Jabba!
Remember she said the rioters were zombies infected with the 1619 virus and the Red Summer of 1919, so it wasn’t their fault, they were rioting on behalf of deceased ancestors, few of whom even had any connection to the US as of 1619 or Chicago as of 1919.
groot is lying, the and foxx work for the same terrorists and they have been tasked with desroying chicago so foreign enemies can but it up and shape it in their image
Chicago is trending faster than many expected in becoming like Detroit.
Chicago *wishes* it were as good as Detroit…
Says the pot to the kettle.
Chicago’s lawlessness is equal responsibility of Lightfoot, Foxx, Preckwinkle and Evans. Apparently only unlikeable Lightfoot will pay the price. Lightfoot would be a hoot, if the reality wasn’t so bleak here. Lightfoot thinks she’s never accountable for what Chicago has become: the American version of Afghanistan’s Kabul. Lightfoot knows she’s unlikely to be re-elected, Duncan is already circling, Lopez is likely ready to run too.
Open your eyes and everything is clear! What’s wrong? Look who’s in charge is what’s wrong!
Chicago, you voted for that bitc- Foxx! Live with your choice!
Next time make better choices
WILL??? send this city into chaos. It already IS.
