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.

How does Kwaumie have time for this when he is busy investigating the arson fire in Tiffany Henyard’s town? When does this ever vigilant and inspiring watchdog of corruption ever sleep? Kwaymie and JB surely are aspirational role models for all of us other weak and insignificant humans. What have we done to occupy the same State as these Saints of Progressiveness.
Kwame will never allow voter ID because it would slow down illegals from voting. No IL wants the voter rolls cleaned up because that would impede voter fraud and election cheating.
Taxpayer dollars used for nakedly partisan ends. This is criminal and Kwame knows it.
The FEC should consider funds used for this purpose to be political contributions to the rudderless Democrat Party.
Interesting that the US was without anyone at the helm of the ship of State for four years and now the party that was in power then is similarly rudderless with its beam to the winds of real change.
Hey Kwame…quit wasting my tax dollars on law suits with your Liberal AG’s. It is like clock work, what ever Trump does…they file suit against it. So much for doing the business of the People. Pathetic.
More of Kwame’s budget spent on suing Trump. Of course he wants more money for his budget. What else is Kwame spending his budget on, other than suing Trump?
