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.

Eng needs to go back to school before using legalese she doesn’t understand. Trump was convicted ( found guilty ) of rape in the crazy cat lady case, hence the financial judgment against him. He is charged by the race hustlers in NY and GA with accusations that will soon go away as their purpose of keeping him off of the ballot obviously failed. Willis, James and Bragg all made clear before the trials even began that their sole purpose was not the pursuit of justice in an unbiased manner, but to “ get Trump “.
Sorry only judge can CONVICT him, jury finds him guilty.
This is a LIE. He is NOT a convicted felon. He was found GUILTY by a jury. But only the judge can find him GUILTY. In fact, Judge Merchan is likely to throw out all the charges against him in a couple of days because he understands that Turmp is the most powerful person in the world now, and it might not be a good idea to imprison him before he take office, lest he find himself under investigation or IRS audit.
