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.

These people are absolute MORONS. We have lived with gas stoves for the better part of the last 70 years or more. Some days I truly have to ask myself if this is real or a bad dream I am having. How could we elect so many stupid people?
My sentiments exactly, how on earth did we get here????
Just a step closer to banning natural gas stoves.
Citizens are too stupid to be able to make an informed choice.
Keep your mitts off our gas stoves!
Democrats enjoy laws that force businesses to publish lies. Like how Pritzker tried to force gas stations to post misleading stickers about his phony gas tax cut.
