-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

“At least 33 shot…in weekend gun violence…”
What else would they be using, bows and arrows?
This is people violence!
this ST piece puts the body count at 10 for weekend (https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2024/06/09/6-killed-33-wounded-guns-gunshots-violence-crime-city-hall-cpd-investigation-attacks)
BJ has really done a good job at doing nothing but spending a lot on his own grooming (hair and make-up etc) for the year!!!! when are people going to wake up and quit voting for this crap!!
Breitbart has it at 45.
They just want to go around and shoot each other. Sure, on weekends, you might play golf, or mow the lawn, or drive kids to soccer practice. These people on the south and west sides, they want none of that. They want to shoot at their neighbors.
While the rest make excuses FOR the shooters.
You really have to look to find weekend wounding and shooting deaths. No mention in Trib or Times. Maybe because these weekend fatalities have become routine and pols don’t want the population aware.
Here is a list from the Times. Somewhat up to date with locations and some info on deaths.

Hey Jackass lists 9 killed. The 20% reduction of the actual data by Johnson and his Marxist cronies in full force.
