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.

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.

Rent a bus and send them back to Chicago. Do you need Lori’s address?
Marty Moylan, nobody wants these illegals in Des Plaines.
This is going to cost you the election in Nov
Let’s hope the usual democrat voter finally realizes what a destructive force the democrats they have elected have been. Let’s hope for the giant Read Wave that many are predicting.
Whomever is running against Moylan of Des Plaines had better capitalize on this free political gift. Moylan is allowing the Mayor of Chicago to bus illegal immigrants to his district?? Did Moylan even have the guts to tell Lori Lightfoot ‘No, the constituents of our district don’t want Chicago’s illegal immigrants”
Moylan was a crappy Des Plaines mayor – his performance hasn’t improved one bit – still a good party member who represents his party rather than his constituents.
