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.

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.

No chance in Hell.
What really needs to be fixed is the Black family structure by an increase in marriage, valuing education and acquiring marketable skills, responsible fatherhood and an end to the out of wedlock baby reimbursement machine we’ve got now. 80% illigimatcy rate is why some pols think the CPD needs reform.

Quit giving them the huge pension incentive to retire early to Punta Gorda, Florida.
I’m not entire convinced that minorities residents are asking the police to be the police. That’s not at all what polls show. From what I can tell, they want the police to be even less proactive than they are now. Minorities in Chicago seem to be far more tolerant of higher crime levels than white people in Chicago, at least that’s what polls show.
It seems to me that is a universal thing rather than just limited to Chicago
