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.

The ruling is that individual school systems make the mask decision, probably with parental input. Doesn’t ban masking. Based on the science, that is very reasonable. But Pritzker thinks he’s smarter than everyone, and have to follow his dictates. Does he think he’s the only smart one in the state and everyone who disagrees is an idiot? Oh wait, they must be Trumpers.
What a baby this guy is…. Inherits billions and believes that entitles him to tell us all what to do…. JB, grow up you petulant, little whelp.
Pritzker is a very dangerous individual to all of us he has no respect for us or for the law that’s been proven time and time again, his way or the highway remember in November 2022 he must be voted out of office.
Wasn’t this the guy that was whining about chaos a few days ago? Can you imagine what will happen if the SC sides with him?!?
It’s going to be a all out war.
It would be a war, similar to Canada. Regular hard working citizens vs the political elite. We will see if the SC will look to see which way the wind is blowing or follow the Democrat officials party line as usual. Just remember when you vote for governor in November.
Like the spoiled tantrum throwing baby that he is, JB just can’t give it up. He is incapable of accepting someone telling him what he can and can’t do. The science isn’t on your side, people are moving on and it’s time to get back to running the state. He must be afraid of that prospect.
He’s a political newbie with a billion dollars and nobody tells him what to do, JB’s law degree is from Northwestern U (hahahhahaa) and the Law School is named after him for goodness sakes. Some lowly republican circuit court judge in Sangamon County from some Toilet law school isn’t going to tell him what to do.
Yes, because he has no idea how to actually do that…
