A 16-year-old girl was already a sex trafficking victim – and we have learned the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services placed her with a three-time convicted felon who is accused of forcing her into prostitution.
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.

Wow, who coulda seen this coming?
I cannot help but think this was intentional – you can see Pritzker and Democrats finger prints all over this. My gosh, IL is worse off than I had thought.
I believe i was reading, currently cpd is completely failing at even registering sex offenders which cpd blames on lack of manpower. But like so many other police duties, is cpd using fully sworn officers to register sex offenders instead of using non-police personnel? Getting the cops back on the streets and out of the desk jobs im 100% w Brandon on, it’s rediculous
It’s almost as if the state hates children. The state encourages mothers to abort children, and then after they’re born, they go into horrible indoctrination camps called schools; and if the state takes the child away from abusive parents, they get placed with sex traffickers. And when white foster parents try to foster black children, it’s called racist. The state’s new flag should be Moloch.
Just look at Kapernick’s recent statements about his foster parents. They would have given him back if they knew the thanks they’d get is being called racist.
