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.

The Courts have gone so far left and out there, criminals can’t be held for Burglary? What the hell is going on….and what a friggin surprise…they didn’t show up for their court hearing…gosh I wonder why?
The level of societal disruption occurring in the US over the past 5 years is staggering and the behavior of the courts is a huge part of the disruption. Seems like its all a part of a multi-level plan by the enemies of the US to disrupt society and culture in the US.
Hundreds of released arrested people on EM in Cook County are missing, whereabouts unknown. Oh well, they can still vote for democrats
Ortiz strikes again!!
And, again, and again.
If the courts want to use ankle monitors fine. Then they should be attached to a chain stunk in the floor with a 10 ft circumference
Thank you JB! You da man!
They didn’t show up for their court date? I am sure that is rare. (cough cough.) Some leftist org has probably given them a new place to stay – and ankle monitors are just another form of oppression anyway. The police can find them in a garbage can somewhere.
