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.

The fine teachers at CPS are scrambling to get themselves assigned to the schools with the lowest enrollment so they can sit around doing nothing all day.

For shame Chicago! For shame CPS! And, of course, for shame CTU!
