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.

Allow me to translate BJ ” We are currently evaluating all of our legal options to protect the criminals of Chicago from federal law enforcement because we love criminals and criminal illegal aliens and hate the so called ‘victims’ of crime.”
Nobody is asking the Citizens what they want. The government wants programs the citizens want criminals off the streets and not returned to the streets. There is no middle ground.
The thieving corrupt Democrats AKA Communists want ‘programs’ in order to steal, skim, siphon and snatch most of the program money until ultimately a tiny percentage actually ends up at its destination. The Chicago Democrat AKA Communist way.
