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.

JB wants to make nice. JB wants that federal money. JB is a blowhard, waffling coward.
The Happy Warrior is now doing the backstroke, as he attempts to walk a very fine line, like a hippo walking a tightrope. His sanctuary state policies were over the top and incredibly expensive. They have turned out to be wildly unpopular as well. Unfortunately, the man simply can not admit he was wrong. It is a terrible character flaw. I hope Homan comes after him with everything he’s got. On a national level Pritzker will be toxic if he chooses to fight for illegal immigrants.
“Let everyone into the country. If they commit a violent crime, we will deport them.”
Pure genius.
“Let me be clear up front, violent criminals who are undocumented and convicted of violent crime should be deported,” Pritzker said. “I do not want them in my state and I do not think they should be in the United States.” The Happy Meal Warrior speaks with a forked tongue, just like a typical mental disordered liberal. If you really felt this way then why haven’t you done something to get them out of this state and out of this country?

Exactly right. He did, however, see the polls and election results showing that voters are fed up with the open border crap he fully supported.
“Pritzker said violent criminal non-citizens should be deported and never allowed…”
I can’t believe it takes threats of criminal charges for JB to even admit the most popular position ever, that violent criminal non-citizens should be deported and never allowed.
Deporting violent criminal illegal aliens is a wildly popular position! Virtually no one is against this! Why is it so hard for JB to see this is the way the winds of the country are blowing!
What a weenie! He’s already starting to back off cause he’s scared and a coward. AND YES HOMAN does have an official job! “Border Czar” is just a slang that Biden started with Harris! Pritzker is a jerk and a joke!
Tool Pritzker, like other Dems, was too cowardly to admit that the empty pantsuit was tasked with straightening out the border and failed miserably.
One way or the other someone is going to get a rude awakening, this will be very interesting.
Send them to his home!
They will get the same reception Obama’s neighbors on Martha’s Vineyard gave them.
