-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Billionaire Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois is one of the top Democrats being watched as the party searches for a way out of the political wilderness
Summary and audio linked here.
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. Audio here.
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.

Different headline. He bought the governorship twice with the help of $325,000,000 just laying around in his bank account.
When you can BLOW that kind of money to be governor of Illinois, did you really “earn” it, or did it come from, what we’ve been told, is the Pritzker’s involvement with some 62 NGOs? Sickening!
When it comes out 33 counties want to secede from Illinois, any voter with half a brain will realize how bad he is
Its worse than that. In his last election for the governorship, he won approx 10% of the 102 counties in IL. Of those counties half were won by less than 5% of the vote. His record will follow him and bring embarrassment, thats right he is a moron.
Just like the Little Giant the Little Tyrant will never be President
GOD HELP THE COUNTRY IF HE IS PRESIDENT. WORST GOVERNOR ILLINOIS HAS EVER HAD.
Vote him out.
How Deb? The Leftists Democrats aided and abetted by public employee unions, have rigged every significant election in IL through extreme gerrymandering, ballot harvesting, illegal alien voting, and finally the removal of election tranparency with the ‘black box’. Pritzker used his inherited fortune to buy the IL Supreme Court amongst other district courts. IL is completely unfixable w/o significant Federal oversight.

To help this idiot let’s all put old toilets out
with Pritzker’s name on it with a sign that’s states
Says place ballots here.
Waddles is a big fish in his dwindling fiefdom. Nationwide, he is joke fodder with extremely deep pockets.
Greg Gutfeld, currently the most watched late night comedy host, now uses Pritzker for his fat jokes along with Chris Christie
Wow – even the laughable thought of that….Lord help us all…
Daley recommends not running for another governor’s race, “because a crisis or scandal can pop up at an inconvenient time”. For instance, this LOL governor JB could be called out for his mismanagement of the state for his last two terms. At least 35000 lives lost to covid and his handling of the virus in general. Then there are taxes, school scores, the list goes on and on. What new could pop up? This governor is a moron like Kamala. Madigan can add some color. DOGE will find out all the money he misspent of the taxpayers dollars (state and… Read more »
Hard work from this robust frontiersman who faced every kind of privation and difficulty while he struggled for the sanctuary-people of Illinois — all before heeding the call of a troubled nation.
Hair-splitter not rail-splitter and resembles Stephen Douglas.
Suggest he grow a beard and other necessary appendages plus get a stick before facing-off with Vance.
Unite us, JB. Unite us;)
Has as much charisma as a stagnant pond.
Article nails it on what a complete fiscal/debt disaster JBs Illinois is for us in the chumbalone class (me). So, if it’s any consolation, maybe JBs national ambitions will temporarily hold off the machine ghouls from taxing you into oblivion. Will he stand up and nix any of–“tier 2 fix”, $730 mil -“United We Move”, etc, etc crazy new machine spending proposals floating around Springfield?…….us bottom feeders can only hope
“United We Move” could also apply to the many thousands relocating out of state.
