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.

She’s not reading the same Constitution as I am. Her’s must be “Made in China”
Stunning incompetence and stupidity from this “judge”
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.
Would love to know which President appointed this HAG
Sad to say, Bush 2
Wouldn`t know it
Where’s my running list.
They need to drag this out for as long as possible…
There is no $$ to be made in a quick ruling…
The connected law firms gotta get paid in order to “pay it forward” to their political masters…
An on-going “quid-pro-quo” enterprise…
Guns laws do nothing to stop criminals.
Most important line in the story, “federal judge in Chicago “.
Even the federal bench is corrupt and toeing the liberal line drawn by the democrats. This whole fight over firearms will end up in the US Supreme Court and hopefully the libs will get bitch slapped by SCOTUS. Nothing in Chicago goes contrary to the marching orders of the democrats. I believe that a fed judge in a downstate court would or will have a different opinion if it’s ever in court there.
