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.

Aaw! Poor pilgrims let’s get this corrected.
I am sure El Gordo has some favorite 4-star
Restaurants that we can send the illegals to.
A nice red wine, some prime T-Bones yum nothing to good for our illegals, hell if we don’t make this right they might go to New

“Food terrible”, no surprise there.
Contract awards are on basis of campaign contributions and political affiliations, rather than food vendors’ proffered quality-control and catering to taste-preferences of intended multinational non-American clientele.

NYC administration spends $357/day/migrant for housing, food, and security. Chicago likely spending same.
Well, certainly, lets just provide them with a cash card and then reload it every week…that would be easy and only cost a few hundred million. Why not. Good God. Perhaps its time for them to head back to their real home….and quit draining ours.
Ungrateful and illegal……….they fit right in with the way progressive dems think!!
