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.

Communism should not be able to exist in Illinois and any other BLUE state!
98 million dollars for sure you will need the National Guard, what a pathetic moron
Political way of DEFUNDING THE POLICE . Don’t fill the 1900 police officers they are short !!! Work those in the force into OVERTIME and then COMPLAIN about OVERTIME .
No patrols, no traffic citations and no answering of calls. Domestic dispute, send a social worker. Mugged, robbed, beaten, send fire ambulance with report taken at the hospital. Victim of a crime, stop at the local police station and file a report with the civilian clerk. No cops, no problems. Have fun Chicago.
Eliminate guards for any public servant active or inactive. That will help!
Hasn’t the city of Chicago been ordered by courts to pay something like 160 million in back pay and penalties to Chicago police officers for overtime pay? Add to that Chicago will be on the hook for back pay for Chicago firemen who have worked without a contract for four years. What delusional world is Mayor Johnson living in?
Have you tried CPS yet?
(Rhetorical question)
Well. If we bail Pinheads peacekeepers out of jail they could help
The defund police criminal enablers, the Latinomarxists and America’s Worst Mayor have been licking their chops waiting for an excuse to reduce the number of police officers even further and now have their chance. Remember sheepies, police are the enemy and you are better off without them.
