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. Audio here.
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.

Sure so the overpaid, under performing teachers can do their jobs from home,in pj’s with one eye on tv .Great idea
Wow, that’s good. Preparation and planning to do less. Excellent work CPS.
Maybe start with attendance and make sure your students are in class, not rioting and protesting.
Do it. Track them down to the physical address by their IP address. More efficient this way, thanks CTU.
I was thinking the same thing. It allows ICE to know who is illegal and to go right to where they are!
I’ll bet you’re wanting remote learning. During the plandemic, you and your Marxist cabal pulled every trick in the book to keep from actually going back to school buildings and doing some work. Educators I know were bird happy to do a few hours of Zoom in their sweatpants and have the rest of the day off from noon onward.
Remote learning = no learning! Another blog had a picture of one of the lost CPS laptops on sale in a Goodwill Shop in Chicago Heights . Let’s have an accounting of the previous “Remote”losses before we begin again!
The CPS students don’t learn in class, but maybe they can learn remotely. Got it.
Dems only worry about imaginary problems 24/7/365.
Does Macarena worry about student math and reading scores which are a real and measurable metric? Of course not.
Macarena reads Wirepoints! Thank you for the downvote.
I love it when I’m over the target. Smells like victory!
Quick question for Macarena: 2 + 2 =???
I’ll give a whole day to figure this one out.
TTYL!
Macarena and her posse chose to downvote some more since they couldn’t answer what 2 + 2 is!!!
