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.

Gun grabbers will be cucked hard when SCOTUS blows their bullcrap out of the water
White, conservative, law abiding citizen democrats portray as violent felons. Black car jackers, gangbangers, drug dealers are portrayed as marginalized persons and victims of white supremacy. Democrats utopia.
Democrats have the votes for this agenda. Karen the middle-aged and slightly plump screeching harpie from Glenview or Bolingbrook is the reason why. The love love love IL like this, and in fact, they think it hasn’t gone crazy enough.
They don’t have the votes for it. What are you talking about? They had to pull every dirty trick in the book to get this through. Gun rights groups have outnumbered the gun ban groups in every major public hearing. This is with gun rights groups having almost no communication channels or media on their side. The numbers speak for themselves.
I’m getting the impression that witness slips are like elevator buttons – just there to make you think you have some control – but nonetheless useless.
Democrats love criminals and terrorists!
