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.

I honestly can’t see Pritzker being chosen unless EVERY other candidate on the list says no.
The craven Washington vampires universally move close to the gold. Illinois’ Gangster Governor, JB the Hutt, has lots of inherited gold.
What other VP candidate can self-fund? Green is a very attractive color.
OBAMA WANTS PRITZKER DONE DEAL
Bringing on Jay Robert will give the WH to
Trump. The toilet bowel caper alone will make for great press. Get the popcorn ready
And the beer cold!
“Lets speed up the demise.”
Nearly everyone I’ve met outside of Chicago in IL and outside the state think Pritzker is a corrupt clown. So please, please, please put Pritzker on a Harris ticket. Harris-Pritzker would be the biggest clown show in politics ever.
PS: Don’t know if this really applies to Pritzker, but Dem insiders are saying anyone who is Jewish is problematic for the Democrat base because of it’s pro-terrorist support.
Has anyone besides El Gordo confirmed that he is being considered? Truth is not his forte,
He is using the Socialist principle of “Tell a lie long enough and it becomes the truth to the people”
That line is more often attributed to German Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, far from a political leftist. In modern times of our country he’d more likely be doing the same general my-lies-eventually-become-your-truth speeches as a Trump political staffer.
He’s sharp as a tack! Better than he’s ever been! Staff can hardly keep up with his energy level! Do you really want to talk about political staffers lying?
Hey, maybe Kamala will choose Randi Weingarten as her running mate. What a ticket that would be.
NAZI was an abbreviation for the German words National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Socialists are leftists, like you, apparently.
Here’s some info on Harris.

Please Please Please. Pretty Please. Do you promise!!!!! Good for Illinois and he will blow most of his fortune trying to get Willie Brown’s mistress elected. Its a Win, Win, Win. For Illinois and for America. What an absurdly dumb choice as VP! A hated white man checks all the DEI boxes. Ha! And a joo (the Hamas Terrorist voters of Michigan will LOVE that). From a solid Blue state (that will bring an avalanche of electoral votes into the D column). And morbidly obese; tick tok will meme that into oblivion. Selected as VP only because of his bottomless… Read more »
Is willie still around? He’s got to be 90 by now. He would be so happy with the BEAST he created!!
This pos loves drama such a jag, god help us all if this happens
He loves being Governor of Illinois so much he’s been on every major liberal network preening as he waits for Kamala to come a calling. She may just be stupid enough to ask him to join the ticket, even though his state is solidly blue, and he brings plenty of baggage which can be exploited. I thought she already decided on Shapiro?
Shapiro, for a closet antisemite and shadow 5th squad member? She’d rather lose Pennsylvania. On the other hand, if masta Obama says so anyways, she’d do it in a heartbeat.
