-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Denver and New York are also struggling to handle mass numbers of migrants, and Chicago is the only sanctuary city that has pointed to resettlement as the primary solution to put them on a path to self-sufficiency. But there are not enough case managers or landlords willing or able to rent to keep up with the rate at which people are arriving, leaving volunteers to fill the gaps.
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.

Again, Trib fails to note that vast majority of recently-arriving migrants are in fact military-age men, not “families”, certainly not lone women-led households. Trib is valiantly shielding its readers from the worrisome truth. Note recently-published stats on Chicago’s current shelter locations and populations, about half the shelter beds are for single men.
Simply, MSM lies, misleads, and miss informs.
The Mr. Potatohead administration , MSM and social media are the TRUE threats to democracy.
This BS about white supremacists is to distract from our REAL problems.
How about them back to wherever they came from.
How about those volunteers look into finding housing for homeless CITIZENS and VETERANS and some quick deportation for the invaders?
Serious question? Would you take in a family of 4 migrants in exchange for getting $80-$92,000 to house/cloth/feed them? Smaller family less money/larger more money.This is what is the city is saying what it costs to keep them in shelters or wherever. Approx 15K migrants and well over $300M so far. The money goes directly to. you. Would you give it a shot or say No Way? The state/city is doing a horrible job so far.
No way.
BUT I would throw in a few bucks for tickets to their birthplace.
