-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

Ducksworthless quacks about the Signal affair and a compromise of safety, but is mum on covering for a senile president and her part in rejecting the Laken Riley bill, two things that really compromise our safety as American citizens. She also yammers about connecting with everyone, when we in IL all know fellow progressives and social services recipients are the people keeping her in office.
Concerns of voters in red counties are completely ignored by Illinois leftists like Duckworthless. Illinois Dems don’t need support outside of the City of Chicago. This inadvertently makes the case for the Electoral College.
Pity vote winner
What’s a Duckworth? Not much.
The DICK is going…next is The DUCK. Her words in this article are shallow and meaningless. She hasn’t done anything for the tax payers of Illinois, but get herself re-elected. Waste of air and space. Her focus has never been on the average tax payer…that’s who gets screwed every single day. Time to go Tammy.
