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.

First time i ever heard 99.93% of hospitalized are unvaccinated.
Does anyone have proof of Ezike statement?
Nope, and neither does she.
Ezike is unchecked because of Pritzker she does as he says, remember in the beginning of Covid-19 he refused to let her talk on her own at a news conference.
It is made up and doesn’t correlate with any other city or state or country that reports hospitalizations.
90% of all statistics are made up by the person citing them 😁
