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.

Crime of the century.
In a lawful society, Freddie Pritzker would face the music. Period.
He can run amok; lawless, corrupt, unchecked, criminal.
Good v Evil. It truly is.
Dead babies or dead veterans – both of these are wins for Pritzker
Pritzker was extremely vocal and critical of Rauner when veterans died of Legionnaires at the state run veterans home in Quincy, and the media ran with it all day long. More veterans died at the LaSalle veterans home under Pritzker and we don’t hear about that now. Whoever wins the Republican primary needs to make this a focal point, along with all Pritzker’s progressive policy BS that has doomed this state.
Are brave veterans, DCFS, IDES, and so on we’re is States attorney Raoul to investigate Pritzker how can this be allowed to happen. Pritzker must be punished for his actions and extreme malfeasance, if anything vote this BUM out of office come November 2022 maybe we can stop this some how some way.
