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.

Hmm, moral leadership from a CTU hack….
Meaningless virtue signaling while your own house is on fire. What a crowning achievement.
These morons like Rabbi Brant Rosen (he/him) live in some alternate universe, where the sheep befriends the wolf and they all end up friends at the seder. It’s a delusion without any evidence. These people he defends hate his very existence and would repeat what the Germans did during the 40’s if given chance. This is not hyperbole it’s the stated truth. People like this are more dangerous for his people than Hamas ever is.
“A proud moment.” “Genuine Moral Leadership.” Wow. Mayor J needs to signal his stops…or the Tribune will be up his A#*. Did they have this much to say about the Oct 7 attack on Israel? I am so glad I stop looking at and paying for the Tribune decades ago. How about working on the “root causes” and a flippin cease-fire in Chicago.
It’s not the Tribune’s column. I respect their inclusion of an opinion column that took the opposite side that they did in their editorial.
Thanks Mark – – Unfortunately. You need to subscribe to the Tribune to read the entire column…and I don’t so I only saw what I could.
