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. Audio here.
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.

The Democrat’s Brownshirt Army on the loose.Fewer of them than after the George Floyd drug overdose because they were mostly paid protestors and now with the USAID funding cut off the losers are staying home. But there is still that vermin Soros funding chaos.
DNC apologist typists Dana Rebik and Alonzo Small bring us another obfuscation from the supplicant, useless Chicago media.
No, kids. This vandalism can be traced directly to Democrat demagoguery and slander. Not that we’d expect anything but DNC apologetics and talking points from ‘journalists’ like you.
So now I guess it won’t be enough to tell me I have to drive an EV, the lefties will tell me which EV I have to buy. Since Teslas are to be avoided at all costs, has Governor Blowhard decreased his target of a million Illinois EVs by 2030?
Aren’t these the same activists who demand we burn less fossil fuels? Now they penalize the guy who responded to their outcries and built the EV automobiles?
It’s kind of shocking actually to see mostly normal looking and law abiding people, out of nowhere, start keying Teslas. Trans violence is to be expected of course (and is likely the major reason why the US pushes trans abroad so much as a destabilizing force) but some of these people are just normal looking middle aged people who stupidly key Teslas not even knowing they had Sentry modes with cameras that protect the vehicle. TDS really rots one’s brain, makes them lose all sense of rationality.
You have pictures of normal-looking people keying Teslas? Please share.
Hard to keep up with what I’m supposed to be aggrieved about. Avoid Tesla because of Musk but ok to overlook Volkswagen’s history. Stellantis includes Fiat, which is an Italian company, but Italy gave the world Christopher Columbus, who was a racist. I just don’t know which cars are ok to drive on all this colonized land.
