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.

Here’s apology Gardiner should make:
“I’M SORRY YOU’RE A BITCH.”
Who cares about profanity, compared to the out of control MURDERS and Crime in Chicago and Illinois!
Make the criminal ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR CRIME!
I could care less about profanity being thrown around!
The alderman are nothing but babies! Fix your shit hole city!
Anytime you can make Lori’s anonymous
asskissers scream and cry; you’re doing something right.
I like this guy Gardiner
