-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

Say anything bad about Foxx and the standard reply is “Y’all are racists”. Issue resolved.
Plainly stated, Kim Foxx is a racist liar who is doing the exact opposite of what she is saying.
Not only are SAs like Foxx responsible for the increase in violent crime but they have played a huge roll in the public corruption in Illinois. Crime is crime and the SAs refuse to prosecute local elected officials who are caught. Many turn their head as local elected officials engage in self-dealing and destroy public trust. It does not matter what the evidence is, they will not clean up the counties. I am sure MANY of them benefit from the Madigan enterprise.
She is ignoring the data while telling bald faced lies. Every one who is wide awake knows who is committing most of the murders and crime in chiraq and the data proves it.
You can try to change the narrative Kim, but we’ve seen too much since you took office. Crime is a major issue, and you are a major reason. You might want to avoid watching television as the election season really gets rolling.
Someone tell VP Harris that the “root cause” of Chicago’s crime crisis is Kim Foxx
And someone might also tell VP Harris that SHE and her boss are the root causes of the weakening of our country. No doubt about it.
She’s also the best example of why affirmative hiring is not the best plan for a country’s stability.
