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.

Still waiting for a Dem/ lib judge to hand down an “ enhanced sentence “ for one of their constituents using a gun with a trigger switch or extended magazine. Just one.
I propose a bill that would prevent Democrats from holding public office in Illinois because most of the politicians arrested in Illinois are Democrats.
The favorite pass time of democrats is turning innocent law abiding firearm owners into criminals while not pursuing hard time criminal charges against the gang banging, drug dealing, drive by shooting crowd who the democrats will defend non stop.

Supreme Court needs to step in and set the record straight across the country
So, even if the pistol wasn’t modified and owned by a responsible gun owner and never used for anything but protection, the owner goes to jail. Seems like penalizing the responsible Citizens along with the criminals. Glock is perhaps the weapon most used by Law Enforcement because of it’s light weight, operation and durability.

CPD got the memo today that Sig Sauer sidearms are no longer regulation. They have to replace them, at their own cost of course.
Owners who buy before the ban would be grandfathered in as owners if it’s registered. Military, police and guards of nuclear facilities could still buy them as well. Glock fixed the issue with Gen 4 and 5. Gen 3 and older are the only ones with the issue and they’re no longer produced. Illinois law makers and voters are just retarded so you get this issue.
