ALEC: Illinois’ unfunded pension liability $533 billion – Center Square

The report singled out the structural pension issues in Illinois. "In some of the worst cases, states ignore the [actuarially determined contribution] and instead use state statute to contribute less than the ADC each year. Such is the case with Illinois. ... Illinois uses state statute to contribute less than its ADC payment, leading to the massive growth of unfunded liabilities. This practice did not change in FY 2019 or FY 2020."

IL’s collapse will be long and slow and it needs another decade or two population Great Replacement before it collapses entirely. And when it does, it may happen so slowly, that you don’t even recognize it, as most of the state looks as run down as Cairo, Elgin, Marion, Rockford or Joliet.

Your insinuations that I’m a racist mean nothing to me because you’re not a serious person. In fact, you are the one who puts the racist term in your name. Yes, hillbilly is a racial slur. Given that you’re a hillbilly, and dumb as a rock, you may not be aware that IL is a sanctuary state. IL has an official policy of welcoming poor, illegal immigrants into the state, and we promise them healthcare, food, shelter, schooling, driver’s licenses, and work (wink, wink!).

Gov. Pritzker’s ‘ethics reform’ eliminates competitive elections and choice for voters – Wirepoints on AM 560 Chicago’s Morning Answer

Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about a new law passed by the Democratic supermajority and signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker that results in brazen election interference, keeping Republicans off ballots; about a referendum that tests the waters for a renewed progressive income tax hike; about how the Parental Notification referendum question was knocked off the ballot; and why laws like that pass so easily.

Chicago needs more champions of literacy like Willie Wilson – Wirepoints

It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
