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.

Side note-Pritzker will be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight. Glad I will be sleeping. When will he be on the View so I can miss that too.
I’m not exactly sure how it works but I don’t think PDJT will take no for an answer when it time to bring in the national guard this time.
What other way is there to construe what he said? His words are plain enough.
watch tomorrow, May 1, for how many of are guaranteed deal, upper-income public sector hero’s, (CTU/Brando & Stacy, Tony, fake progressive alders, JB, etc, etc) are out rallying on the taxpayer dime, exploiting the legacy of those who fought for labor rights in INDUSTRY, back when Chicago was manufacturing envy of the world, for their own $$$gain$$$ while bashing thier perfict foil-DT…….and watch in astoundment as lib press fawns in hero worship….no violence, just legalized exploitative chumbalone thievery at it’s finest, Illinois style.
That anyone listens to this guy is a joke. JB, PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT. The national stage needs to see what a failure this guy is…
WirePoints, can you please build a one-pager of all of his lies and mistakes? One that is easily digestible, easy to share, and 100% irrefutable?
Thanks,
Normal People
You want a one-pager on that? Ha!. We already did it, though it needs an update, and it’s longer. https://wirepoints.org/catalog-of-deceit-a-list-of-jb-pritzkers-falsehoods-and-whoppers-wirepoints/
Here is most likely the worst lie (political maps) since those maps will determine who stays in office for years.

This is a Bible verse that speaks volumes on what is going on today.
3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
He knew what he was doing! Inciting violence was his objective. Again, doing the same thing the leftist Democrats accuse the conservative electorate of doing. He’s a scum bag and a hypocrite!
You’re too kind in your Pritzger assessment – but this site wisely discourages vulgarity.
Isn’t this treasonous! Pritzker needs to be locked up for all the damaged he has done to Illinois. He doesn’t have any right to continue lying, not just Illinois but to our country.
Sedition would be the appropriate charge, “conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of the state”. Let Pritzger be the first to do the prep walk but then again in Illinois it’s nice to know that most likely a former elected official is making your license plates.
Wish mass protests of Pritzker, Preckwinkle, Johnson, Evans, Emmanuel, Harmon, the entire Democratic Party in IL were possible. But sheep don’t protest.
And all of the opposition(Republicans) are gainfully employed! No time for that!
We have to be working so we can support those who do not. Like liberal protesters – I wonder if the professional protesters are 1099’d. Likely not. Probably paid in untraceable cash.
Soooo aggravating- then to hear this trash from the governor! Sedition!!!!
And? If you think this is news, where have you been since 2020? The left can tear up cities, tear down statues, loot, burn and murder in the name of “ protest “ or “ social justice “. They can try to jail a presidential candidate they don’t want and try to assassinate him. They can assassinate a CEO and said loser becomes a hero. They can destroy expensive cars and harbor illegals or sneak them out the side door with support from a lot more people that feel the same way. This is the America the Dems/ Obama/ BLM… Read more »
The last time Pritzker called for ‘mass protest’ was during the ‘Summer of Love’ which was mayhem, looting, and rioting as the Mag Mile was ripped up in Chicago along with Blue cities across America.
Don’t forget that during those ‘fiery but mostly peaceful protests’ JB marched in front of the rioting looting mob and along side the vermin excrement of CTU.
Listening to this blow hard, it sounds like he does want more than just carrying signs and marching. Law enforcement doesn’t appreciate his rhetoric. The party of peace and inclusion often means…agree with us or else. He is such an embarrassment.
Mass protest is just a dog whistle for political violence from the far left, of which the fat man is one of.
