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.

Chicago’s problem isn’t Jim Crow. It’s Jim Snow!
I wonder how the CTU would respond if the feds start investigating Chicago teachers and school employees for grooming students for sex as recently pointed out in an NBC 5 investigation?
Based upon their embrace of the tran ideology it is obvious that many to most CTU members are pedophiles. They went into teaching in order to have easy access to children. These CTU members and the many who tolerate this perversion are disgusting monsters.
“Many to most” seems to be a wild exaggeration in that CPS employs something like 17,000 teachers. So, try thinking in terms such as “some” or “a few” if you have any willingness to be fair with the vast majority who are guiltless.
49% pedophiles seems likely and a kind, sensitive, tolerant estimate. Open your eyes. Those who are blind may see.
So, in your world castigating the many for the sins of the few seems the intelligent way to deal with a particular class of people you don’t like? Where has history shown that to be wise rather than stupid? Your point of view reminds me of the Japanese citizens of CA who were imprisoned in CA during WW II simply because of their country of origin—not a proud moment for America. There are a lot of good people who may not perfectly fit a mold you’d like, but EACH deserves a presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
Her mouth can’t outrun the avalanche.
When all else fails, toot the Jim Crow/ Klan/ Reagan/ Trump/ Nixon horn. These people are tiresome.
