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. Audio here.
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.

Representative Scrabble Name is a democrat, what else would you expect? Scumbags every one of them.
Good one. How many points do you think you could get.
Flintstone,
I would not vote for you if you were running for Dog Catcher.
Now back to you People magazine!!
Da Judge
I don’t know why you are talking about voting. His last name has 14 letters so that’s a lot of points in Scrabble if you can get the triple word. You must have had a rough night. Besides how could you vote for me unless you live in Illinois.
Raja is such a simpleton. A zero depth puddle of waste water if ever there was one. The perfect progressive liberal.
Raja, just a clown who used his name as a gimmick. While it is sad Turley’s kids had to live with this, RAJA’s kids (should he have any) should be disgusted at what a POS their father is…
No more wogs for public office! Their primary interest is increasing their numbers in this country and diluting our
Western culture. We have enough of their lies and scams.
Their values are not ours.
Sue his as- no apologies accepted
What a filthy f*cking liar.
Raja the Empty Vessel strikes again. Typical of the modern House Democrats, his cowardly rush to get to his CNN and MSNBC handlers failed to allow for a detailed rebuttal of his wildly inaccurate and borderline slanderous accusations.
Raja, AOC, Schiff, Swalwell…all examples of how far the Democrat Party has fallen. In a fairer, more reasonable world, these leftist cowards would at least stick around to defend their slander. Alas, no.
