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.

Not quite sure what happened to Adam along the way. He started out so well with the mainstream Republicans in Illinois. Great campaigner. Good solid central Illinois values. Off to a good start for two terms in DC. Then he lost his way. Turned out to be unreliable, hypocritical, double crossing, and just downright weird. It would be a great research project to find out what turned the fellow into the angry, pompous outcast that he is today.
Some screws came loose, IMO.

Mrs Kinzinger wanted a big time job in the Trump administration and didn’t get it, Adam got his parties in a bunch and turned into a snake

MSNBC audition
It never ceases to amaze me how RINO’s like Kinzinger seem to be oblivious to the fact that they support and enable the worst of Leftist policies with their harping on about the GOP abandoning their principles. I really could not tell you what Kinzinger’s principles might be other than huge self aggrandizement
