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.

We will start to receive justice the day pritzker and all scumbag pols like him resign.
So … no time soon.
How can he be so comfortable and confident that the law is constitutional, when the very language of the constitution says that all defendants have a right to bail, and the SAFE-T Act takes it away? What ‘inside’ knowledge does he have of the Illinois Supreme Court that makes him so confident the court will rule that it is constitutional? His response stinks to high heaven.
The fix is in
Constitutional or unconstitutional, either way Pritzker’s Presidential campaign wins. The law props up Pritzker’s defund the police national campaign pitch. The IL legislators and IL citizens are simply chumbolones on his path to the white house.
He said the same thing about the “Masks” in schools and he was WRONG – as usual. He is WRONG once again – No Surprise.
“Justice shouldn’t be delayed.”
Correct. Now tell that to the victims.
Mr Pigster could care less about victims of crime. The ideology of democrats is to love the criminal, hate the victim.
Pritzker’s supporters will be on the front line brunt of this and I couldn’t be happier. Fun days ahead to see the lefties as victims finally as they get what they voted for. Time to sit back and enjoy the show!
