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.

I think most of us Illinois citizens don’t want our children or grandchildren in the same classroom or school with illegal immigrants. When we don’t have to pay the way for illegal immigrants, some of us might soften our stance. However, that time might not occur in my lifetime.
It’s time for the Feds to cut off all education funds for Illinois.
The Illinois leaders run a criminal enterprise.
“Gov. Pritzker urges school districts to criminally waste taxpayer money and criminally support criminal Illegal aliens.” Fixed your headline WTVO. You’re welcome.
I never see him calling on Springfield citizens to open their arms and greet the illegals. Kind of curious. Now if Abbot had dumped them their old Putzger would be singing a different tune
The 40,000 sent by Abbott is a distraction. There are 550,000 illegals in IL.
How about improving education for US citizen students? Pritzker is always putting illegals over US citizen taxpayers.
Again TAXPAYERS Money to support illegal invaders ., Just as bad as protecting illegals and criminals over tax paying residents!!
Why not? He’s already given illegals everything else on a platter.
If this was 2020 and there were unvaccinated students or worse yet, kids without masks, they would rat them out in a heartbeat. But break our country laws and these teachers will defend you. All of a sudden everyone is deserving of being protected. Ironic.
