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.

All IL Democrat crime policies — like the Crime Purge Law — are designed to promote crime, and marginalize the victims of crime
And they were the first to call for defunding police … now they want law and order?
Law enforcement isn’t something that can turn on a dime.
The road back to sanity is steep and long. Attracting and retaining quality police officers isn’t easy. We can only hope sane and sober minds prevail – implementation of the miss-named SAFE-T Act is NOT a good start.
To all who keep watch so we can enjoy safe and secure lives … thank you!
The vast majority of us appreciate what you do!
These people were never calling for the defunding of police. Residents of Chinatown have been screaming for more police the entire time. It’s easy to lump all Chicago residents together because they all vote Democrat but there are so pretty significant differences between the progressive insane Democrat and the normie normal person Democrat that wants to return to a world that existed before 2015.
