-- 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.

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.

Wait until JB gets a little more national scrutiny. He will pop like a balloon and disappear from the discussion about being a successor to Biden. The list of bad policies and pathetic results for Illinois will be so long he will get run over in any debate.
I think this is wishful thinking. JB will get washed out because, in the Democrat Party, the only thing that matters is identity. JB’s very, very low in the intersectional hierarchy, being a fat, rich, white jooish dude. That’s a toxic morass. JB couldn’t win any state other than IL which has a history of electing massive losers. He’ll get washed out even faster than Bloomberg did.
boy do we need our fellow Illinois citizens to vote out Fat boy. What a lying pos.
JB just want’s more bailout money, you blew it all and created new programs that need additional funding. Just can’t fix stupid.
More revisionist history from JB. Of the approximately 1.2 million Covid deaths in the US, almost 800 thousand occurred after Biden took over with a vaccine available for distribution.
El Gordo is worried his gravy train is not going to leave the station and it’s time for the fat lady to sing
To the fat man. Cue the song “ The Wabash Cannon
Ball”.
Yes, let a Communist China battery factory set up shop in IL. He couldn’t find an American company to do the same? But pollution isn’t a problem, let alone spying. Just cal Pritzker China JB. Plant not in his neighborhood.
Down voters tell me one good thing Biden or Pritzker have done for us Citizens of the United States, not the millions of illegals, We the People. One thing they both have in common Biden has destroyed the United States and Pritzker has destroyed Illinois. Both men are massive frauds Pritzker will get throttled on the national stage and Biden is history.
A liar beyond belief
