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.

They want Evanston to… Read more »
” People like the commenter here GM here need to BE GONE from Evanston…” Yes, it’s maddening. As I’ve commented before, I’ve been heavily involved in a neighborhood group fighting against a corrupt non – profit, Connections for the Homeless, and the city’s approval of them operating a low – barrier homeless shelter flophouse, I commented in another post (“Wirepoints is a fan-favorite among WVON listeners” – Wirepoints on WVON”) about how shockingly and abysmally ignorant the black community is, but the wealthy educated white folk in Evanston are every bit as bad… Evanston is “small” compared to Chicago, and so the… Read more »
Another step in the plan to destroy America. First, let them in. Second, let them vote.
