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.

I blame the cars! Dodge vehicles are the preferred heaps for carjackers and shoplifting mobs. Dodge has dethroned Pontiac as the favored wheels of outlaws.
It’s perfectly fine, as long as the carjackers were fully vaccinated, masked, and social distanced. Right, JB the Hutt?

There’s no doubt they were masked – most criminals these days are – and they were probably socially distanced too. As for vaccinated, they likely identify as vaccinated. A pundit on twitter I read suggests one of the most contributing factors to the current crime wave is that masking makes it easier to commit crimes. It’s socially acceptable – and often required – to wear masks everywhere, including indoors/outdoors/in your car alone/etc. So criminals can run around masked wearing hoodies and because they look like most other criminals, they are nearly impossible to identify. Just a few weeks ago I… Read more »
I think this is the perfect time to utilize Lori’s new “policing” techniques. No cops. No arrest. Let’s send some of her crisis counselors and psychologists to talk to the poor carjackers and see if they need counseling, a pleasant chat or or just a nice hug. And maybe they would promise not to do anything bad any more.
Wow, almost an unspeakable tragedy! Senate majority leader? I bet her wheels have special plates like Porky. Look what I got! A nice Merc with special plates, I’m gonna put those plates on my car if I get it running!

‘KARMA STRIKES TWICE’ OR ‘A SCHAUDENFREUDE TWO-FER’ — TWO CRIME ENABLING/COP HATING DEMOCRATS ARE CARJACKED AT GUNPOINT — BY THE SAME CRIME-THUGS THAT THEY HAVE UNLEASHED ON THE STREETS — First, Crime Enabling Illinois Senate Democrat Majority Leader Kim Lightford — Who Voted To End Cash Bail/Dismantle Law And Order In Illinois — Was Carjacked At Gunpoint, While Riding In Her Mercedes SUV – CWB Chicago, Fox News — Then, Cop-Hating Pennsylvania Congresswoman — A Leading Advocate For Defunding/Abolishing Police Departments — Was Carjacked At Gunpoint In Crime-Infested Philadelphia – Fox News — OUR EDITORIAL COMMENT — HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
For every democrat politician who gets caught up in the web of crime created by their wrong-minded policies, I say, “You reap what you sow.”
Unfortunately, the rest of us ‘reap what THE POLITICIANS have sown’ and end up on the scrap heap of unreported news and unprosecuted crime.
This is how things change when it happens to a politician or family member. If people plead for a stop sign at a high accident intersection nothing happens until a politicians kid/relative gets hurt then a stop sign is up within a few days.
One reaps what one sows.
HA HA! — INSTANT KARMA’S GONNA GET YOU — Crime Enabling Illinois Senate Democrat Majority Leader Kim Lightford — Who Voted To End Cash Bail/Dismantle Law And Order In Illinois — Is Carjacked By The Same Type Of CrimeThugs She Turned Loose On The Streets
We don’t hear that much about the every day citizens who are terrorized by the carjackings that occur every day in Chiraq. The level of violence is at an all time high in the city and now spreading out to the suburbs. This is all due to King Pritzker’s social justice agenda with Lightfoot, Lil Kim and Judge Evans riding in the backseat of the station wagon. It is a complete disaster. Vote every Dem out of office so we can restore law and order before it is too late.
The chosen people who want to defund the police are responsible for this. It was inevitable that the right people would start getting carjacked. It won’t be long before one of them is brutally assaulted by a felon out on home detention. Keep up the good work bad guys. Targeting people like Lightford will start the hue and cry to expand the police.
Haha…!!!
