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.

Better start counting votes like they do……just sayin’
What a discusting thought……that building named after him is bad enough!!

How about…start again by putting Christopher Columbus back in the park and stop trying to modify the entire City to pander to the minority votes. Do some real work for a change!
This crap deserves a meeting at the Mystic Knights of the Sea Lodge. Let’s rename it the
“ Algonquin J Calhoun Blvd “ or “ Andrew
Brown Drive”
The “ Usual gang of idiots “ strikes again,
Holy Mackerel Andy.
It costs lots of money to change name of a street, both public and private-sector costs.
Stupid gesture intended to pander to black voters.

You are a conquered people, and there are new leaders in charge, and they’re intent to turning all of Chicago into a third-world city. But don’t worry, this is merely a temporary, transitional phase, until the hispanic coalitions fully take over, and Chicago becomes New Oaxaca del Norte, and it will look like Oaxaca…
It will look like Haiti only bigger. A time will
Come when the people will realize what a
Side show the democrats have been running
That the democrats could not run for dog
