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.

Sure, kimmie will prosecute. She will begin immediately after the guy in the White House runs a 4 minute mile.

Some guy drives a couple times down Lightfoot’s alley, and gets himself arrested.
Some guys regularly loot Burberry, Ferragamo, et al, and can’t seem to get arrested, even if they litter front lawn of Pritzker’s mansion with discarded beer cans and empty cash registers.
We live in Alice in Wonderland, up is down, left is right, only the Queen gets protection.
