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.

Liberals are quite adept at naming policies and laws in the most deceitful ways: SAFE-T act, “reproductive care,” “Don’t Say Gay Act,” (that was a doozy) and Inflation Reduction Act are prime examples.
It’s just another way of lying – and too many voters don’t get past the propagandized name when voting.
With the deplorable education being offered by many Illinois public school we can only anticipate an even less informed electorate.
Passed and signed a bunch of pointless laws.
Is reproductive rights now the term used for the systematic murder of the most innocent?
Exactly Pritzker is a murder of the unborn by the laws he has enacted I cannot believe an out of state states attorney has not brought charges again him.
Can’t wait for the big man to be on the corner with a cardboard sign bellowing “ Free abortions! Free abortions here!”. It’s about all he hasn’t done.
Reproductive rights? What a degenerate bastardization of the words? There is nothing reproductive about it. It’s simply baby killing. You know the government sanctioned murder of the most innocent by the one person who is supposed to love them the most. You want evidence of the moral deficit of this country. Look at how many people scream for their right to murder their children. When a society reaches this point there is no hope for it.
Agreed……and the ticket of harris- waltz says it all about this country if they win………VOTE RED PLEASE
