No surprise that Illinois’ Tier 2 pension law being challenged in court given how it was passed – Wirepoints Quickpoint

My god, I hate journalists so much:
“So what should we make of this as Lightfoot prepares a list of new taxes, some populist aldermen urge new or higher taxes on office leases, vacancies, employees and sales”
Those alderman aren’t populist – they are avowed socialists. They call themselves progressives or democratic socialists. Call them what they are, don’t sugar coat things for your readership.
