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.

Whew, I thought I read “J. N. Pritzker” elementary school.
The “right”s of these illegals are being “violated” they claim, over and over.
Under U.S law a trial is NOT REQUIRED to deport anyone who has violated the term of their visa. ( assuming they even had one)
Why in the world would an elementary school lock down because Law Enforcement might be in the area? ICE doesn’t want to arrest children, they are after criminals. They have better things to do than scare kids in school. Apparently, the School District is fine with scaring kids and causing them to fear Police. Excellent work. Morons.
Because the school is probably run by a hysterical, lib woman with oversized glasses and Bozo red lipstick all over her face to go with her hyphenated last name that is buying into the ICE witch hunt like she did to all the ultimately false covid bullshit.
