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.

Who is protecting the majority of kids from the woke ideology and confused parents who that spawned this insanity?
Teachers? Counselors? Nope, those so-called professions supporting the trans ideology are the root cause. Students are victims.
Tread softly if anyone recommends counseling for your kids. Meet with and research all counselors.
There are no trans kids. There are plenty of confused kids who are having a hard enough time growing up without psychotic adults providing a diagnosis for every bit of teenage angst. Mental illness is not to be affirmed, it is to be treated, and not with irreversible surgeries and chemicals.
In a sane country, homosexual+ people would not be allowed to work around youngsters!
Trans doesn’t exist, it’s not a real thing. And parents who treat their children of the opposite gender belong in prison for the rest of their life, it’s the worst form of child abuse.
Teachers making it harder and harder for people to believe they don’t want to do this stuff, the administrators are forcing them. Teachers only do it to keep their jobs. Riiight.
