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.

Hey Fat Boy, why did you send your family to Florida during your mandated shutdown of Illinois and allow them to enjoy freedom there? Two faced, lying SOB is what you are Pigster
One person about 8 seconds into that video clip was carrying a sign that said “DeSantis is a Genocidal Monster”. You know who else were genocidal monsters? A particular political party from WWII Germany. And what did we do to those people between 1941-1945? They were utterly destroyed.
