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.

One more reason to avoid filling out a FOID form.

When you need to defend yourself in your house, or outside, quick, rapid time is important, perhaps just seconds!! Nobody believes our stupid Batavia Rep MH stating more youth killed by guns vs car accidents! Oh, maybe it happens on a single Tuesday in December!
It all depends on who’s in your household! Leave the citizens alone to be prepared to defend themselves.
Stupid, stupid so called lawmakers in Illinois!
