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.

I’m still of the opinion the DNC convention will be a nothing burger. It might even be a celebration when they announce Biden’s stepped aside for the Kamala/Michelle ticket.
And I hope I’m right. Nobody wants to see violence or anyone harmed.
All those Catholics saying their mass in Latin are sure to be a real threat!
“Foreign malign influence” seriously, do they not realize that any foreign adversary wants Biden to be elected.
Looking forward to more Palestinian themed parades and south/ west side style “ funnin “.
Maybe you democrat clowns shouldn’t have created the tinderbox conditions?
The spelunking doom grifters sure would be happy. They hope the people in the city of Chicago will suffer just to own the libs. It’s a wonder why they can’t win any elections.
Most are divisive bots. Don’t believe most of the garbage on the internet.
Especially the AI lib bots that deny reality and won’t acknowledge what’s going on until they have bigger worries than the pesky crows in the cornfield behind their lily white subdivision.
LOL over half the country finds Chicago to be a complete laughing stock. You obviously don’t listen to conservative media, but Chicago’s dysfunction and idiocy, along with IL, is a long running joke. They mock libtards like you incessantly, every day, over and over again. They have no respect for you, they look at your awful city and laugh how awful it is. And we laugh when the DNC said “we’re not going to be the WingNuts make fun of us, we’re going to host the convention just to own the WingNuts” and we mock you even more, at your… Read more »
No low information voter, but your poor attempt at deflection is duly noted. Any rioting and destruction though will be from the radical left. Even a dog has enough sense to not dump where he eats. What is also noticable is your ilk with multile log ins coming here to down vote comments. Do you and your mental disordered liberals friends feel better doing so?
Danger dogs are back! You should be scared!
High risk on the threat level system!
What adult male put ketchup on a hot dog? Decades ago someone did that and that is the real reason for all the murders and crime in Chicago. lol
The massive rioting and destruction in August will make 1968 look like a kids birthday party. National Pravda media wont be able to conceal the ‘fiery but mostly peaceful protests”. You’ll have ANTIFA, Hamas Terrorist Supporters, Pro Abortion Monsters, Anti-Free Trade, Marxists, CTU and Pussy Hats all bloodthirsty for death, mayhem and destruction. In such a tinderbox the slightest thing will set them off since they are seeking an excuse. A jaywalking ticket, a parking ticket, anything involving a minority. CPD will be overwhelmed and Pritzker will never consider calling out the National Guard because he hopes that the convention… Read more »
You forgot fire and brimstone, the dead rising from the grave, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, MASS HYSTERIA!!
All joking aside… notice that if there is trouble at the convention no one expects it to come from bleach toting MAGA Country types, who supposedly are the greatest threat to national security. Nope, it’s their fellow lefties they’re most afraid of.
And don’t forget, the 2020 riots, and the way the police were treated by Lightfoot, Bobby Rush, etc. is still fresh in their minds. The CPD’s rallying-call will be; Stay Fetal My Friend.
