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.

Something tells me that these yutes were gang bangers themselves.
This is one of the non-demonized capones shot downtown Friday in broad daylight (thank goodness for social media and the readers who grab screen caps):

And for the uninformed the handgun he is holding has an extended magazine, probably a 30 round mag, and has the “switch” that allows the gun to become fully automatic. PICA violations and a federal crime for possessing a machine gun. No court for that yute as he has taken the pavement temperature challenge
Busiest remaining corners in Loop is/was TJ Maxx entries weekdays at lunchtime. Kiss that retail traffic goodbye. Loop is no longer safe for pedestrians, tourists, or workers. Mayhem prevails.
And TJ Maxx already closed its Michigan/Ohio location; expect its State/Wabash/Madison store to close soon too.
As a former Chicago resident of 74yr, I watched the WGN report on the Loop murders yesterday on Youtube and nearly barfed seeing the sign of the Planned Parenthood over the that of Innovations HS. Nearby is the Target store which pushes the XXX agenda. The city has long ago embraced the culture of perversion and death. The city has been deindustrialized by the Daley gangsters and with hopelessness all around Pritzger attempted to pacify the masses through legalization of weed.

I can’t speak for Hizzonor but Daley II did his best to revitalize a dying rust belt city. Chicago recovered some of what it lost as crappy neighborhoods gentrified and places like Maxwell St. and skid row disappeared. Chicago’s growth slowed during Rahm and up through Lori 2019.

Simply put, Lori shutdown downtown for far too long and allowed black criminality fill the void. This… Read more »
