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.

Dont come to naperville we got too many liberals here already…
So after their voting choices wrecked one area they want to move to another area making the same voting decisions that will destroy the new area as well. I hope they don’t move next to me; it is bad enough where I live with the existing liberals no more are needed.
The young couple looking to move to NW Indiana to escape the BLM violence, but then claim to support BLM and the ‘uprising’? That is complete brainwashing. Please stay away from my neighborhood.
In all likelihood they’ll bring their warped world view and poor voting decisions with them making their next home town just a little bit worse.
Most of the these people will never learn. Never look inward or outward to better understand the cause and effect of their misguided/sociopathic need to feel good about themselves and superior to others.
BYE BYE. Write when you find work…
