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.

For JB, they’ll have to dye a circus tent orange in order to provide him a jailbird jump suit, lol…
Will JB shed a few pounds as a result of being under stress? Probably not.

Question Mark since Pritzker is a sitting governor is he exempt from civil litigation until he is out of office, just wondering if there is something in the laws of millions that he may be shielded and that’s why he said what he said about Trump.

Thanks.
