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 be tolerated”, now that’s funny!
Asterisk: except if committed by protected classes, groups and/or individuals.
Thus far, Johnson administration has signaled absolute tolerance and nonjudgmental acceptance of public demonstration disruptions, vandalism, and hate-crime.
DNC will bring Chicago’s dysfunction into full view of nation and world. Goodbye tourism-trade.
The police won’t tolerate it but will they be prosecuted and held accountable? My guess is no.
There simply should be zero tolerance for this kind of schite at any time, not just when the leftists have their pow-wow for Grifter Joe (or his replacement…).
Leftists have always had their violent street radical do their dirty work. That’s why they tolerate it. They’ve been operating this way since the Russian Revolution when they intentionally emptied the prisons and gave felons the license to commit violence and damage to further the communist cause.
It would be beneficial for the country to see what actually happens in Chicago on a day to day basis – let them do what they do EVERY day… We live in a city run by a complete moron – that is not meant as an insult, it is meant as a statement of BJ’s capacity… He simply isn’t smart – and his posse is no better… And, it would also shine a light on the boob of a governor who mismanages the jewel that Chicago represents. Crazy what an obvious failure Democrat policies are and have been. And yet,… Read more »
This will keep happening as long as the vote counters stay the same…….no one in their right mind would keep electing such stupidity……even Chicago!
With all the cameras around, why is it that the park district / city won’t release video of the jerks polluting Buckingham Fountain, and ultimately Lake Michigan? What are the hiding? And why would security not have responded quickly once they saw it on camera? The Ai software would have sent an alert. Finally why aren’t the climate activists going after the lake / fountain polluting pro-Palestinians?
think you will get any answers?
They’re not hiding anything. They’re covering for them. The commie regimes support street communists.
Too bad they didn’t use root beer so Foxx could change them with a felony.
Well played!
Chicago will put a new definition on Public Safety, meaning anything they don’t want to hear to order people to disperse….
