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.

It is getting cold so the shootings should slow up. The worthless Shitty of Chicago cops will take credit for it. Next year it will be a record number of shootings and killings. They we get out of jail with no bail. Got to love Illinois government, it works for the honest hard-working law-abiding citizen.
Not the cops that I know. They have been “ORDERED” to look the other way when crime takes place or face imprisonment.
So, it all comes down to this: “THEY ARE ONLY FOLLOWING ORDERS”. Just who gave those orders and why, is something that is certainly worthy of a congressional investigation.
Does anyone else here agree?
CHIRAQ REPORT: 25 Shot, 5 Killed, In Chicago Weekend Violence – Hey Jackass
On the Jackass main page scroll down to Gallery on left side and look at the video from 5554 W School St. Very Graphic. Absolutely no regard for life. Animals behave better. Did not want to post video.
Thanks for the video. We live in the lawless wild west. Our local leaders see that video and say nothing is wrong. Wouldn’t want to send more black and brown people to prison.
